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.

As a jackson county high school student, I can say my experience has been positive. Some of the best parts of my school has definitely been the teachers and some bonds i've created. I also have made new friends over the past few years being here. Throughout the clubs and extra curricular, I've met some inspiring people. I've never considered myself having a negative experience at the school, it's overall a great school to be under 500 students in total.

The overall atmosphere of JCHS was great. The teachers are considerate and understanding. I did have some issue with the scheduling staff and would very much love to see mental health taken into consideration. I also would enjoy their to be more inclusion with students who are not involved in sports.

I attend the tobacco stained halls of JCHS. I wouldn't call it a school though, more of a daycare center for teenagers. There are maybe six good teachers in the entire building, the science department is particularly decrepit. The staff allows the student body to run wild (their actions are consider...

Jackson County H.S. has a broad spectrum of students when motivation is considered. The administration has committed to hiring certified teachers in critical areas (like math), where a new hire is a man with a master's degree from U.K. This demonstrates a goal to provide quality instruction for thos...
