The main thing I like about JCPS is that the environment of the schools and just the care of the teachers and staff is unbelievable! Being in JCPS, you will always know that someone cares about you and no matter what, you always have help even outside of school hours. The care that they give for their students is just honestly exceptional! They go the mile and way more to make sure their students succeed. Everyone is basically just like a big family here. One thing that I would like to see change in the future of JCPS is the teacher appreciation. I feel that lots of the students do not appreciate how much our teachers and faculty do and sacrifice for us and that is something that I really hope to see change in the future. Our teachers deserve so much appreciation that they do not receive from us students sometimes.
Overall, I think that the Jefferson County Public School System has done a poor job administration-wise in caring for their students. In multiple of the schools that I have been in have the staff been combative and at times refused to do their jobs whether that be in scheduling classes or dealing with student's needs in general. There of course have been plenty of wonderful experiences with staff members, but this is bound to be the case after being in the system for as long as I have been, but this has still been overshadowed by the inconvenient and downright horrible experiences that I've had. It has especially been difficult during the pandemic and I feel as though JCPS has not handled the needs of its students very well, and the continued implementation of the BackPack has only exasperated these issues. I hope that the whole BackPack project can be completely done away with and due to it causing students unnecessary stress. I also hope that future administration can fix the issues
My experience as a student of JCPS has been very beneficial towards my education. Classes are 50 minutes each at my high school which is nice but can sometimes be overwhelming too because we don't always have time to finish what we started in class and cramming things into different classes doesn't always work. Otherwise, the schools are nice and the teachers are very good at engaging students to learn. More resources like how to do taxes and how to pay bills would be nice because we don't get that type of readiness for the future anymore.
