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 have had an enjoyable 4 years out at this school! Kids do get along with each other very well, and can be a fun environment to be in.

Best: I really enjoyed my time being at Jay County. I really did make my best memories there and I did regret of not doing more. Worst: kinda wish they have more opportunities but they've been implementing it now but it's kinda too late when I'm a senior. Changes: Would be nice to see if there was some encouragement to do college classes or encourage students to join club activities.

Well 8 people have died since I've been in high-school. The middle schooler being here has ruined alot of our facilities. Half of our bathroom stalls don't have doors. 2 of our administrators had to go to court.
