I went to Jack Britt High School freshman and sophomore year. Jack Britt has many restrictions, the use of technology isn’t encouraged at Jack Britt and there is a lot of outdated material still being used in the classroom. If they allowed students to use more technology without threatening to take phones away and have an equal dress code for both genders that they equally enforce, then the school will start making changes for the better. The students need to be treated as upcoming adults, especially the junior and seniors, not as middle schoolers who need to be helped with every single task, as if we can’t follow directions and then carry them out independently. The school also needs to change it’s bathroom rules. Students are only allowed to leave the classroom to go to the restroom twice a semester. Certain students do abuse using the restroom, however the majority shouldn’t have to suffer because of them.

I liked the general studies offered and the rigorous pushing towards college readiness. I believe the teachers were average, however some seemed ill-fitted for such large classes and some seemed uninterested in engaging students. I believe funding could be better used to provide teachers proper resources without them having to pay out of pocket and becoming burnt out. The school funding seems to be focused upon sports than other departments. The school events are often held by a handful of students and teachers and lack much involvement outside of that small circle.
Jack Britt High School is full of opportunities for everyone. There are so many clubs offered, so everyone can find something that they enjoy. The counselors, teachers, and admins are always available to help. They make sure that you are preparing you for your future after high school, whether it's to go to college, into the military, or to start a job right out of school. For a school that have over 2,000 students, we are a close family. Everyone cheers each other on and they want to see us succeed in everything that they do. Jack Britt is honestly one of the best high schools you can ever go to. Go Buccaneers!!
