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.

My exsperince at east jessamine highschool was a short one. I was there for two years because the school let me graduate early. I went to garrard my freshman year of highschool and they didn't have anything or any resources. so at east jessamine it was a huge chnage having so many different cultures and so many clubs and activities. I was able to to choose a pathway out of 50. this is a awesome school I highly recommend

I enjoyed my highs school years at East Jessamine high school. I was able to participate in JCTC program. I was involved socially through cheer. This made me feel connected and gave me a sense of belonging. I have made great friendships which I feel will last a lifetime.

This school is disorganized, doesn't follow their own policies but expects the students to; Two of my children have anxiety and the school has no respect for children with disabilities; they actually choose to make it harder for these kids; so my son, who was in advanced classes, is on home bound be...

One of my biggest problem with EJHS was that they showed nine rated R movies to my 16 yr old during the first semester.
