I went here a couple years ago, and I have to say the best part about it was the teachers there. Or at least, a handful of them. However, the way that the school handles bullying and racially motivated harassment is absolutely terrible. It is a school's job to make everyone feel welcomed, safe, and ready to learn. That was not the case for me or my brother. We are both biracial, and we both were picked on for it. My brother's harassment was more severe than mine, with students calling him the "n-word" in multiple instances. The students were reported but nothing happened to them. It just continued to the point of him having to leave the school and get his education elsewhere. Additionally, HDMS, even when I was there, had issues with students using drugs in the bathroom. Of course, a school can't constantly monitor students, but there were times where I think things could have been handled more efficiently. I'm sure the issues with student vaping or whatever is even worse now, so I can't even imagine what it's like. In short, this school is not recommended. The ONLY saving grace it has is the aforementioned handful of amazing teachers.

Jewell is a wonderful environment. Teachers are enthusiastic and want to be there which is contagious for the kids! Lucky to be part of this top notch school.

Terrible School and they have ruined my childs education.
