I'm an alumni from Jersey Village High school and absolutely love every memory I have attained! However, I wish I kept up academic wise, and enrolled into more AP and Dual credit courses. ie: Calculus BC. This would have made my college life so much easier, but I chose the easy route out of high school.

Jersey Village was a GREAT SCHOOL, with AWESOME teachers (esp. the ones that cared and nurtured for the students). College profs are NOTHING like that. Classes up to 300 students/1 prof. ~ Think about it. Read less

I'm going to be a junior next year at JVHS and sadly I wish I wasn't. Although it's not completely horrible, the bad definitely out-ways the good. Both my freshman and sophomore years, there was plenty of drama going around and the administration did nothing to solve the issues. Another problem I've

The teachers especially need to work on boosting morale instead of sipping their coffee and reading personal E-mails. If I could go to any other school in this district I would jump at the chance.

I graduated in 2003 from JVHS and I thought the teaching was pretty good. Especially the English dept. As response to the post below about the coaches not caring about the students during the off-season, I somewhat agree with you but just incase you didn't know, we used to have to attend a 30 minute

Jersey Village has always been a good school, however, the athletic program deserves coaches who care about the students before and after their event season; not just during the students event season.

My son went to JVHS for six weeks and got into more trouble in those six weeks than in the previous fifteen years of his life. I know there are many students who walk a straight path at JVHS, the teachers were generally good. If your student is not very mature and able to stand on his own I urge

I have had three children attend JV. Although most of their classes have been honors classes I have found JV to be a wonderful school on all levels. Their regular level classes, especially, the journalism classes have given them a background in actually using higher level thinking skills that few other

That program also provides a creative learning experience in the II and III levels of the course. The school gives students a look at the composition of the real world population. The principal, however, does need to become more involved with the teachers and students. Read less

No adult leadership here. The principal chooses which district policies to enforce; the school board calls it 'site based' decisions.' I call it no backbone. They've had to clean this school up before and will have to do it again. I am an involved parent, you have to be.
