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.

I am a senior at JZGeorge. The school is great. But they are really strict. This year the senior are not even having a graduation. We have to ride in a vehicle to get are diploma. We seniors did not have a prom either. The teacher there always has a favorite student. I would change a lot about that school if I could. But the kids there are great and I love all my classmates. I just wish are school would give us seniors a better graduation.

I like J.Z. George because it feels like home. I know almost everyone there. Its easy to talk to the teachers because they basically watched me grow up. What I don't like like? Its not really a lot of help with my major, scholarships, and basically life after JZ George.

J Z George is a diverse school. The academics of are standard, but they do not offer foreign languages as of the moment.

I just want to say that our school needs to get more involved with the See you at the pole! Olivia, my niece was the only one that showed up this morning! I am Soooo Proud of her. But what does that say about our school. If you want to see a change in the school to the better, do more for God. Pray....
