Sounds as if these past few students who commented should have paid more attention to the teachers. Maybe they would have learned a little more, like spelling and grammer. I also went to this school and I live here now so that my kids can go. Its a great school with a lot of great teachers. Don't listen

I'm sorry, but even with the new renovations and mr gibson (thank god) the teachers are lacking. Most of them get placed into subjects that they have never tought before, so they have to relearn the subject while teaching it to the students. The councilers are terrible (with the exception of Mrs. Baker.)

Having not only attended Jones county HS, but 3 other High Schools during my 4 years, I wouldn't rate it anything then above average. From my experiences, if you are not in honors, then you do not recieve a sufficient education to really prepare you. During High School i also attend Alan c. pope HS

Out of the schools i attended i would rank it 4th out of the 5 next to mount zion. I did not feel my education was where it should have been, and i was in honors. Unfortuately Jones county seems to have a focus on sports(football) instead of education, and their football team isn't that good. Yes i played football as well, along with other sports. Read less

Note a trend here... parents, for the most part, hate this school and the students love it. Why? Students aren't required to do anything! The problem starts with the School Board and floods down from there. I am a local business owner and I am amazed at the lack of education 95% of the students receive.
... Read more I don't like hiring Jones County graduates, because (a) most can't think for themselves, (b) most can't spell simple words, much less use them in complete sentences and (c) have little or no motivation to actually work. Sadly, my daughter went to this school and again, like the majority of the students who attempt higher education, are in remedial classes for most of their first year in college. I'm ashamed my tax money funds this system. Parents do your child the biggest favor of their life: PUT THEM IN PRIVATE SCHOOL!!! Read less

I am a former student of JCHS. I graduated in 2005 w. honors. As all high schools, JCHS has it's pros and cons. The school is over crowded, even after the addition of the 9th Grade Academy, and some of the instructional materials are out of date. It's a shame that only the Voc. Ed. students have

The curriculum is fine, but seems rushed in order to prepare students for the GA Graduation exams. Mr. T was a wonderful principal and will be sorely missed. I hope Mr. Gibson does as good as job as Mr. T did for over 20 years. A variety of extracurriculars are offered, but the most emphasis is put on football, sadly. Read less

JCHS has had a lot of changes this year. Altough I miss the leadership of Mr. Trimnell, I am very thankful that Mr. Gibson has taken over has principal of JCHS. He is a wonderful person. He is a terrific role model for anyone - children and adults. He knows his business and strives to make JCHS the

I'm a Senior this year at Jones County High School, and I have to say it is actually a very good school. In the past I have said I hated it, because of the administrators and teachers, but I now realize that all they are doing is trying to make the school a better environment for those who really want

The dress code isn't too bad, at least we aren't wearing uniforms. Plus, all the admin is friendly. Mr T know's everyone's names and the lunch lady knows all the numbers! I think that anyone who says this school is horrible, either hasn't looked at the big picture or just doesn't care for school. Outside the drama, JCHS is great. Read less

Jones County is a horrible school. Aside from three or four teachers, everyone else is a joke. Class requires little work (if any) in order to pass. the only extracurricular activity that gets any attention (or sufficient funding) is football. The emphasis of the entire administration is not actually
