Henry M. Jackson High School has a lot of welcoming, supportive and kindhearted people who make the lives of other students in the school much more fun and enjoyable by doing weekly news videos and doing announcements everyday. As well as the leadership people, the majority of the students and teachers in this high school have great school spirit and are really kind to others which makes the school an enjoyable place to go to everyday not just for studying but also meeting many different people. At Jackson High School everyone treats each other equally no matter their race, religion, personality or gender that they identify as, everyone is treated with respect and understanding. Even thou the school is really big it is quite overpopulated mostly with freshmen, numbering almost a thousand students at the start of the 2017-2018 academic year but that does not change the fact that everyone in this school is like family to each other and people treat each other nicely.
There’s many clubs to choose from such as Robotics, Social Activism,Fccla , Deca, Dance team, National Honors society, Gay-Straight alliance, TSA, Mock Trial, Hi-Q, Multicultural, ASL, etc. Our swim teams, softball team, tennis and soccer teams are pretty good and make it to state often. There is a wide variety of classes to choose from, whether you want to take easy classes or really challenging Ap or Uw classes. The majority of the teachers are involved and helpful, when you ask for it. The school average Gpa, SAT and Ap scores are higher than the state and district averages. The staff and administration are very involved, helpful and actually care about their students. Downsides are, the school is way too overcrowded, causing the school to have like 19 portables and many more to come. There’s not enough parking for juniors and seniors.Overall it’s a really good school, that’s decently diverse and I would say the best high school in the district.
The counselors seem to lack because they only do what's "required" when really, students need guidance for what they might want to do, when, and how they're going to achieve it. Instead, they just want their students out, when they need to be informed about the options and requirements they have/need to meet when it comes to following their unique plan. Teachers need to gear themselves to each and every student. Not letting your mood affect your work-what a professional is. Teachers are a demanding position but there are teachers out there that want us to do well.
Students aren't going to get anywhere. They're careless and ungrateful but so caught up in their lives and think their lives are hard on them. Their teachers are here to help.
