This School’s Reviews

5.0 Alum

6/27/2023

I loved the Jonathan Alder school district. It was an incredible learning experience with lots of great people and outstanding opportunities for growth. It is a district small enough to know most people, but large enough to have a decent sized class with various academic and other extracurricular programs.

4.0 Senior

The staff does everything they can to help their students succeed. You are responsible for your education, but there is always a place where you can seek help.

2.0 Senior

1/4/2020

Jonathan Alder was a love-hate relationship. I loved seeing my friends every day and getting to see my favorite teachers, but sometimes it was really hard to step foot into the school without feeling some type of judgment. I love some of the staff, it's a very open music populated school as well with the athletics.
