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'd be embarrassed to tell someone I came from JCHS. The administration as of recent is terrible, not to mention the stark lack of opportunities. Just go to El Dorado.

I would like to see more kids in power. I love that i can feel safe. I hate that i have to come to school and they take my phones.

Most of our teachers are very helpful. Most want to help you succeed. There are some that do not really teach their students though.
