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 student at H.M. Jackson, I've viewed a wide range of experiences at the school. While we are known for our high academics as well as our skilled sports and music programs, the administration at our school needs changing. While some are friendly, they do not help our learning and do not listen to the voices of their students who need change, are attempting to stand up to bullying, and are reporting teachers for inappropriate behaviour.

Best experiences I had was the clubs. I had a ton of good experiences like getting to help and know the community as well as becoming friends with a great people that elevated me. Worst part was the bathrooms and how it was always torn apart.

I enjoyed my time at Jackson high school as it provided me with the necessary resources for me to succeed on my path to the future. I would say that the best part of the school would be the event they hosted, I always had a lot of fun and they kept us safe. However my least favorite thing about Jackson high school is that I had my physical in on time but it was overdue but no one told me and I couldn't get to play basketball this year. So I would like to change the office communication with parents and students so their alerted about these things.

Jackson could and should be so much better. It is thought of as being the “best” high school in the district, but there is nothing great about it. Yes it is a higher income part of the district, and with that there is more engagement from parents, and families that have the means to help a strugglin...
