My experience with Jay County high school is that it is a really nice public school. It has a lot of different opportunities that you can take from your sports to your musical careers. Their food is not that great but it's OK for it means school food and pretty much all the teachers are very helpful and nice and caring.

I always had good experiences at Jay County high school. All the teachers there would always help if i needed it with anything. The only bad thing was when Covid hit and we had to go online.
