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.

The school is really great. The staff is very helpful and dedicate time to parents and students when needed. Academically, they offer a a lot of AP classes and the students are well prepared for the exams. Good athletic program

My experience in JHS is overall good. Some teachers are confusing in their process of teaching and assigning homework. I feel like I was ready for the Cambridge Exams I had to take at the end of the year as part of the Cambridge program hosted at JHS. I also think the program is an excellent opportunity for students across the district, and I have learned much from it.

I should not feel super de...

Students who tried to change out of a class they did not sign up for were threatened by the administration to either stay in the class, be forced to work in their office as their lacky, or lose class credit. Would not respond...

JHS and its faculty have seemingly turned a blind eye on a major issue being same-sex harassment. In my freshman year I was repeatedly, albeit on the lower end (but still uncomfortably) touched by the same student almost every day, along with constant gaslighting by other peers that I wasn't resisti...
