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.

Throughout my time in high school there have been constant disruptions because of construction. Our school is constantly adding new projects onto its list and always being disrupted by these projects. The administration of Saint James does not listen to its own student body. This leads to a disconnect between admins and the student and creates a less than desirable environment for high school. There have been positives to my school. Through my school I was able to gain many certifications and become potentially career ready because of programs provided. The teachers and friends I've met have been a positive impact on my character.

My experience with St.James high school was good because I have learned a lot of news things in the last two years. When ever I was a freshman I had no clue what I wanted to do with my life, the teachers and staff helped me figure out what I wanted to do as well as some help from my local FFA chapter. I have spent a lot of time with my schools FFA chapter to help and benefit it. FFA also allows a lot of different options with technology and mechanics.

Overall, my experience at St. James High School has been fantastic. I have been enrolled in the St. James School district my entire education career. During my high school career, I have been taught how to deal with problems that are going to happen in the real world.

Unfortunately, the teachers and staff were too focused on the students meeting the minimum criteria to get good graduation numbers that my classmates and I barely had to put forth any effort. I felt like I was handed everyt...

I am a student here and enjoy the much caring staff. They really try their best to support us and prepare us for schooling in the future. Though our school has a few rules that should definitely be changed, I think all in all my education here is decent and something to be proud of.
