I think the system is alright. But since the pandemic they have been making new changes and rules that have been making my fellow students and I hate them. I go to Patrick Taylor, and we used to be lended Lenovo laptops and our own personal emails to use for schoolwork, but, since non-tech-based schools started getting useless Chromebooks and (very restrictive) “emails”, they starting giving my school the same things, making us no longer special as a technology academy. The quality of our food also got much, much worse than it used to be. I graduated this year but my class really missed the way our school used to be before they changed so many aspects of it.
Please note that it is difficult for me to rate the academics and teachers of my school system since I went to an advanced academy and they favor my school above all others. I don’t doubt that that quality of my school’s academics and teachers were much better than that of public schools in my parish so I put 4 stars instead of5

JPPSS is driven by a desire for students to get an education. Our school’s environment makes me and several other students safe, and the schools within our parish always feel extremely welcoming and friendly. However, I do wish that our schools did more to prepare us for college. Being a senior in high school, I still don’t feel ready to go to college in the slightest. Out of anything I would change about JPPSS, the one thing I would work towards is being able to help other students become prepared for their future in college. I do believe the curriculum that our schools follow when it comes to academics is fairly good. I do think we learn material that will help us grow as good people that I know other schools around the country don’t teach. When it comes to diversity, I believe that there is an extreme lack of discrimination when it comes to making friend groups, and our parish works to make our schools diversified environments where people can embrace their different cultures.
My experience with Jefferson Parish schools has been really good. I spent all my middle school and high school years studying at Jefferson Parish schools and they never disappointed me. Awesome willing to teach teachers, and clean schools. Overall a great experience.
