I graduated from JHS in 2006. I honestly believe it is a top school in the state. Of course a school can have its own problems. Students have a responsiblity to themselves and the school to study and work hard to pass these classes which are no walk in the park. I love JHS it is the Best. GO AGGIES.

I am a graduate of jhs with a child there now! if i didn't believe in the school, i would never have elected to send him there.

JHS is a school on the rise. I feel that the old Jackson High School spirit is returning to Jackson. We need a PTA and more involvement from parents in booster clubs as well. I believe that the lack of involvment by parents is the main reason for poor moral by the student body of JHS. I would also like

I am grateful to Dr. Flowers for her help and faith in me. The office staff is friendly and helpful. The football team may not be so great but the guys have heart. The cheerleading squad is fabulous.

I am a parent and I have also had the plesure of working with some High School Seniors that did not pass their exit exam after several attempts. Remediation is provided by outside programs, but I feel it comes a little too late. This remediation should begin after the students fails test the first

I am a 30 year old black female. I graduated from JHS in 1993. I must admit that I appreciate everything that I learned there, as it prepared me for college (Mrs. Haygood in particularly). I have a B.A. and a M.A. degree and I think my foundation at JHS had a lot to do with it. I was involved in

To the person who wrote a bad review about Jackson High School, I want to say thank you. Everyone in Clark County knows that JHS is the best school in the county. The academic standards at this school is very high and the facility is the best around. The teachers at JHS give their students the best

I was once a student at this demanding school and I used to complain to my parents about the high standards and the homework but now I am grateful.

JHS is a good foundation for academics. Teachers and staff are devoted. There are areas that are lacking, I feel due to block scheduling. Our principal is not always receptive to change, however new faces are forcing the inevitable. School uniforms are not a problem. Student scores have only risen

I just want to comment on the parent who reviewed the school. Please tell me that you didn't go there b/c you used the wrong form of there, and it leaves much to be disired about your language.
