This school never has their stuff together and had no respect for other peoples time. If you want a well organized school Jacksonville High is NOT the school you want your student to attend. Always does things last minute and never cares about how their last minute decisions affect the parents and students that go to this school. If they really did care for their students their stuff would be together and they wouldn’t have to scramble around last minute to do things last minute. This is ridiculous that parents and STUDENTS from this school have to tell the admin how to handle situations. 0/10 i do not recommend this school for any parents in the Onslow County Area.

The school lacks leadership and accountability. Reinforces our decision to homeschool our child.

My child has been to 5 different districts in 3 different states and this school has been the worst one attended, BY FAR. -- 1. The majority of the teachers do not teach or engage; they expect the children to use the online programs to teach themselves while the teachers text on their phones. The ones that do try and teach are so caught up trying to counter students' awful behavior, the students that are there to learn get forgotten about. 2. Administration addresses NOTHING of actual concern. After countless contact with administration about a teacher harassing my child, I was finally able to get the situation dealt with after threatening to press criminal charges and drag every administrator down into it with the teacher. 3. Administration punishes students for advocating for themselves when situations are ignored over and over. If the teacher doesn't handle a situation, then an administrator doesn't handle a situation, what are students supposed to do? -- Obviously all children are not interested or excited about school, but there are children that are. School should be a safe place to go, an escape, somewhere inviting, what ever a child needs it to be. This school falls short in every way possible. How a school becomes filled with adults in charge who don't care about bettering a child, who don't care about even moving in a better direction, is mind blowing.
