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.

This school has too many cliques and no one ever includes new students in anything. Everyone is judgmental and only care for looks and status instead of their education. Some kids are so dull it is disappointing to see.

The school does not partner with the parents. The students and parents have no voice. They have inconsistent policies. Administration is rigid and unwilling to compromise. I would not recommend this school if looking to buy in the area.

This place is bad. Most teachers and administrators only care about sports, and are constantly clueless as a result. If you aren't in sports, no one cares about you. The school is full of all sorts of drugs and sex. Weed, cocaine, etc. They love to ignore bullying and continue to let kids get bullied. The bullies are the sports kids that they cherish and spoil so much

This school district caters to the wealthy and privileged student. Not our cup of tea. The kids from average income homes can expect bullying. My grandson was treated terribly for not being from a "professional" father/mother. Teachers not responsive to the way some kids are treated.

We moved to Jackson specifically for the reputation of the schools and I can say having sent two kids through the district and a third still there, the reputation we heard about has far exceeded our expectations. Caring teachers, administrators who lead and set the tone for others, community that ca...

Great, the teachers are supportive, there is a good arts program, they offer career tech programs to help you succeed in college and/or a future job. As for mentally disabled students they offer specialized classes iep and 504 programs, and even job training.
