GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I attend jonesboro middle school. It is a disaster. I have attended many schools in my short life, public & private, and this is the worst. If you aren't in the honors classes, you likely won't have a teacher who cares. Many of the teachers are underqualified, and we've gotten many, many letters saying that certain teachers don't meet state criteria. Few teachers care. Most staff see teaching as a job and not shaping children's futures. The learning environment is chaotic and impossible to focus in. All the technology (mainly referring to laptops) is broken or damaged. The entire school is disorganized and impossible to learn in. I would rather go to an ultra-strict no-fun private academy than this joke of a school. I don't blame the staff as most of them work hard, but many see us students as no more than a machine that gives them a paycheck, & my peers think think the same. Please, please do not send your children to this school.

Poor, my grandchild phone was taken from her by her teacher, no one informed her father that it was taken, they kept it locked in a drawer for over a week because someone was out sick, no one had a key to open the drawer to get the phone out, she had to wait until the lady came back to open the draw...

Great leadership and teachers care about students. The school used to be the lowest scoring in the county NI-4 and is now on the reward school list.
