Jenks Middle School

This school has been wonderful. They have dedicated teachers who truly work to ensure every student excels to the best of their ability. They care about every student. My only complaint is it’s just a huge school. 1500+ kids PreK - 4th, it’s hard to feel part of a community with this large of a population.

My son had a wonderful experience at Jenks Southeast in the Mandarin Immersion program! Great kids and teachers, and the principal is very involved. I often see her greeting kids by name in the hallway every morning. We ended up moving out of the school boundaries, and I regret it! Really miss this school.

I attended victory for 7 years and it truly was an experience. The student body is incredibly rude. Most of the boys make provocative comments to the girls or rude comments about the same girls’ appearances, it just depends on the day. The faculty acts oblivious to any and all bullying that may be occurring. They’re too busy dress coding or drug testing. Not to mention the girls high school dean is no one deserving of that position. She makes a public scene every time she uses disciplinary action against a girl. Half the teachers aren’t qualified to be teaching what they’re teaching. They’re either someone without a college degree with a passion for teaching or a coach filling in a subject missing a teacher. All of the administrators are either friends or family with the pastors or the already placed administrators. The main pastor is not involved in the school at all other than giving occasional speeches. The amount of things that have been swept under the rug make staying away an obvious choice. Many of the beliefs different bible teachers teach don’t align with other bible teachers you may have had or will have making it change for you every year. The girls are highly discriminated against when it comes to dress code. At prom for example the guys were just told to wear suits while the girls had a page of rules and were offered sweatshirts night of in case they weren’t covered up enough. There are also certain sports that are not accommodated including some that were forced to change past the security doors on the church side where they were locked out and sometimes even got in trouble just because they weren’t given a locker room. There is also a drastic difference in the way the faculty and administration treats you before and after you are enrolled. They go from being extremely nice to you, to yelling at you in the hallways for breaking a dress code rule that only applies to the students, not the faculty or teachers themselves. Our education program is also extremely behind. I know someone who transferred to jenks from victory and had to get tutoring because we were so behind. The math department is also super unstable making it difficult to keep up. We also don’t participate in the national honors society, we participate in the Christian honors society due to a few years ago when the principal attempted to kick students off the honors society as punishment for being at a party, but that was not against their (NHS) rulebook so he switched to the CHS.

I am a current parent of 2 holland hall students. Great teachers and staff. They have well rounded balanced curriculum. I would highly recommend it
