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 love Jones high school! Sometimes they can be very ignorant when it comes to me preparing for college like rn I'm trying to take some classes over the summer and my guidance counselor is refusing to accept the request on flvs . He says "no" .

During my time at The GREAT Jones High School, it was wonderful. It a historically black school so I was surrounded by people that looks like me. Jones had a lot of different cultures and backgrounds but they made sure they had everyone involved and no one left out. I was always rewarded for my great academic achievements and pushed to be better. The teachers were a little hard on me but for the right reason. I am an early graduate and my experience was very fun and great.

Jones High School was a very cultured school, it was many different people with all different kinds of personalities. There are a lot of teachers that truly care about their students and try to help them the best they can.
