During 2019-2020 school year both school staff and students and their parents had to make lots of adjustments. School administration said the right words on those topics but ground reality was something else. Most of the class interactions were severely limited and staff not knowledgeable on how to conduct online meetings. It was disruptive most of the days. As soon as the school opened fully in physical presence, no transparency on what is going on pandemic impact on students and stuff. parents get to know from local news papers about the incidents.
No enthusiasm in the stuff members about learning or even caring.

As a high school senior of the Jersey City School District I must say that in my time of attending public schools within the district every school has it's ups and downs. Based on my overall experience as my schooling is slowly coming to an end I firmly believe that us as students deserve more. By definition more is defined as a greater or additional amount in this case it would be schools supplies, extracurricular actives, teachers, college readiness, and opportunities. I strongly believe that the Jersey City School District lacks the things I previously listed because they don't see our neighborhood as the best environment and think it's okay to slack off like our futures don't matter. They should realize that everyone isn't destined for the same route in life, some of us actually want to better ourselves, our community, and our education.
Going to school in Jersey City was a wonderful experience. I started from pre school, just graduated High School and now planning to go to college in Jersey City. The schools are a very tight knit community, working hand in hand with each other for the greater good of the students. The Community is a mixed community, you meet people from all background. This is a very diverse city, people from different parts of the world makes Jersey City their home. It was fascinating going to school in this Jersey City school district. Also, because it it so close to the City that never sleeps, Manhattan, New York City, that makes Jersey City so unique. For the past five years this city has grown extensively and I think more schools will be needed to accommodate this growth. Jersey City is a beautiful city to live in and attend school. I am glad to have experience it.
