RUDE Front Office Staff, Nice Administrators and teachers. 3rd teacher in 4 months. Weeks without homework. No notices when bus transportation is running behind/or hasn't even arrived/left. No advanced notices when special functions resume. Front office FORGOT to send my child via bus, due to a car issue, after I had to submit an email 3 hours, before end of school day. He previously attended a school literally within a 1-1.5mile away from his current school,which I HIGHLY RECOMMEND over this school. Unfortunately, I moved to a zone that does not serve his prior school l. I cannot enroll my kid with his prior school, due to school district not allowing to position your children with the best possible teachers and staff. So at closing, if it is in your power DO NOT enroll your kid(s) at Boyd Elementary, from a parent who has talked to others, and even staff from his previous school share some of the same views. I pay taxes like everyone else, I should have the RIGHT to setup my kids for success and not up for failure. From a parent who attended the same district, when I was a kid 12-18 years ago.

I am a student at William B. Murrah High School located in central Jackson area. The school is an ideal school for students aiming to strenghten their career opportunities in the metro-area. The school offers a variety of extracurricular activities that aid in providing science and mathematical preparation for potential jobs that will require a rigorous background in these subjects.I believe the teachers are very alert and helpful when striving to teach individuals and keep on task. I am very happy to be part of a strong program.

This school helps me more than my old school.Power APAC has brightened my path .The emphasis courses are great.

I go to this school and at is amazing they staff encourages you to do your best and it is really easy to make friends here because everyone is so welcoming.

Great School’s assessment of this school makes me question using Great Schools as a resource. We have had an enormously positive experience. We have two children here. The principal is responsive, the school is diverse in every way, the community is inclusive and welcoming. Both our children test well and make progress. Both our children love the school and their teachers. I saw someone give the school one star noting carline. It’s the same carline as carline everywhere. We recommend this school and we believe in what it stands for.

Moving back to MS was a difficult choice, considering the education disparities between Jackson and Dallas, TX. Yet, Bailey has been a breath of fresh air...both in teacher and family engagement. They've championed several exciting events for the kids, while simultaneously stressing the importance of educational excellence.
