My experience was okay at JDHS. I did not love the town in general, so I was personally pushing through high school. I was very involved in the school, though. I always noticed most people didn't care to get further involved unless that meant joining a sports team. I love the staff,f though.

Large public school. Plenty of recourses available if you ask for them. Has some great teachers and also some to avoid.

Love the teacher and love all the classes. I think it's a great place to find character but the only complaint is parking.
