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.
The Test Score Rating reflects annual state test results for this school compared with scores statewide.

Overall I have always felt prepared and ready for every challenge that I have faced because of my high school. My teachers have worked hard and pushed me when I did not want to work hard but I am very happy that they work so hard to make sure every student is ready. The student life is great most every student is involved in some way it can be sports, extracurricular, and clubs. The parent is involvement is also very good parents show up to all sports activities etc. I have never felt better at a school than I have at J. U. Blacksher.

J.U. Blacksher is underfunded and the education standards lower every year. More students come every year, but no changes seem to be made in order to accommodate the rise in numbers. The athletic facilities, classrooms, and extracurricular spots are all in poor condition. The people that are involved with the school and its activities are great it is mainly the lack of funding that hurts the school so much.
