I have had a good experience I do say community involvement and school culture seem to be lacking. But overall the teachers are all nice they have their classrooms always open kids hang out with them, and we do have a lot more resources than I've seen at other schools for mental health and other needs.

I have a very good experience at this school, although some teachers are not my favorite there is a lot of them who I respect so much and who have helped me a great amount. The environment is very normal. sports are fun and easy to go through.

I enjoy the variety we get at students at JGHS for classes and clubs, it leaves us so many different paths to go down and find what we want to do. There's a lot of drama and people talking and not enough of people limiting it, though. Even though I consider it diverse, I feel the diversity leads to clashes between groups whether that be racism, homophobia, xenophobia, etc. This kinda runs rampant throughout our school and it's my main takeaway from these 2 years I've been here.

I am a parent of a student who recently transferred to this school. My child came from a blue ribbon and CA distinguished school. After hearing my child's daily activities in this school, I'm very shocked that there is rampant dishonesty in this school. For example, students from an earlier time of...
