    "Huge lack of business services, restaurants, shopping. Dreadful. Jackson High is awful. No College Prep. Low test scores. Counselors take months just to give your kid a measly thin SAT/ACT prep book. The 2/10 rating is justified. Kids vandalize things throughout the city and neighborhood. Too much riff raff. Can’t wait to gth out of here. "
