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 have been a student at Andrew Jackson high school for three years now. I am a part of Chorus select, student council, tri-M, and many more events at the school. I am very involved in the arts specifically Chorus , and have competed at Disney World and Dollywood because of the school. I have even traveled around the state for events I have made. I have been so successful because of my school and the environment.

I like the size of the school. Most of the teachers are pretty good. There are a few staff members that can be rude. There are boys and girls sports teams, band, chorus, and clubs. For the most part, AJHS is an average high school.
