Jack Britt High School Reviews

The school overall has been pretty decent. Some teachers are well involved with their students and the teaching can be good. The environment is overall decent. The school is really involved with sports and try to make it as fun as they can. The counselors at the school are very helpful and try to stay connected with students which is something that is greatly appreciated.

It is a decent school. I have definitely learned a lot and the majority of the teachers there are very nice, but the workload can be a heavy at times. There are a lot of fights and vaping going on in the bathrooms as well as graffiti in certain areas. The counselors are very helpful and there when you need them. There are a lot of students from different backgrounds, so it was easy to find friends. All in all, the school is alright.

Jack Britt High School is the best high school academically within Cumberland County. The teachers are very highly rated, some even ranking in the top 10 in the state. Our sports teams have their ups and downs, but the student section at home football games never disappoints. Especially as a senior this year I feel that football games are more fun than ever. Clubs and activities are available in multitudes. There are so many opportunities to take advantage of at Jack Britt, both academically and through extracurriculars.

Review Jack Britt High School

Jack Britt High School has good academics. It has some classes that are fairly rigorous. Administration however, can be hard to work with, for example, in the formation of clubs. The food for lunch isn't bad. Some things are better than others. School culture is mediocre. There's not much of anything that we can claim as a school.

Going through COVID was a rough experience at Jack Britt, but that was probably a rough experience everywhere else in the country as well. While school always felt a little weird after the return from lockdown, Jack Britt was still a school I was glad to be at. The most important aspect to me was that the teachers seemed to care. They cared about their students and about teaching, and that's the most important part of a school. You can be a rich school with all sorts of fancy facilities and programs, but you can't be a good school without good teachers. While some teachers were better than others at Jack Britt, I don't think I ever had a bad teacher there. It's hard for me to speak on what would need the change because pretty much all the issues I faced at the school stemmed from COVID and its long-term impacts on students, teachers, and their relationships and expectations. Overall though, I would be happy if one day my future kids went to a school with the same quality as Jack Britt.

The best part of my experience with the school has been the teachers. Every semester I always feel like I have at least one teacher I feel like I can connect too and go to for any thing at all. The worst part [although entertaining] would probably be the fights and violence I see at my school. It's really childish and usually just over petty stuff that doesn't matter at all and will never matter

The school is really great the teachers help and try to help the students the trans why I did three out of five because the amount of fights that take place is crazy

Jack Britt was solid, filled with military kids who’s parents were told Jack Britt was the best high school in Fayetteville, which happened to be the same reason I ended up there. It wasn’t bad, pretty safe and relatively lively, the buses got us to and fro and the parking lot was big enough that I could use it when I got my car. I liked Jack Britt for the options it gave me senior year in which I could leave early or even graduate early, which I did.

I graduated in 2021 in the midst of Covid. Overall school experience was good. Athletics are what held the school from being great.

the teachers were fairly average but a few teachers really stood out and made themselves different. it does have a lot of rule that restrict things such as no phones and strict dress code. but they do have a lot of pathway for different types of future. from rotc to stem. they also provided many different ap classes. and a good amount of event for the students.

There’s a bit of fights but they get broken up quick. But the classes are really informative and help the learning process become easier.

I would say that this school gives you a lot of freedom and really tries to help you get through things. Everyday when I walk into school, I'm greeted by the principals and some of the coaches. Something I really like about this is how the push success and help you out the best they can when you aren't doing so well.
This school is definitely one of the most competitive when it comes to sports and school spirit, especially when it comes to the football games and HOSA spirit week. Every friday, you see the stands PACKED with people to support their football team and marching band. HOSA spirit week, you can see through the halls how much these people scream school spirit. And last but not least, I cannot get over how much these teachers want to see and help us strive for success. I remember my freshman year how much all my teachers actually cared for us and wanted the best for us.
All and all, this school has made me actually enjoy going to school.

During my time at my school I have met some of my closest friends and best teachers. I have grown to be a better person through my time there. While I admit that my school has some flaws it was still like a second home to me.

JBHS is very supportive - the teachers, counselors, and administrators all work hard to connect students to what they need, but the student needs to reach out first. It is a large school, thirty students in a class is not surprising, especially in a standard class. There are some teachers that are given a wide breadth, but the majority are either neutral towards students or love teaching. The classes themselves are a mix of interesting, have to self-study, or both. Most classes have transferred work to an online setting, but some require the use of textbooks that are issued to you. There are eight student bathrooms on each floor (two to a hall, one for male, the other female) and there are two floors. However, at least one bathroom is always out of commission because of stunts pulled by students. The water fountains used to taste like it chlorine dumped in it, but newer fountains have been installed for some halls. There are fights that happen sporadically, but they are taken care of.

There are too many fights that happen frequently but the teachers and students are nice. They offer many AP courses and counselors to help you achieve your goal.

Jack Britt has exceptional teachers, a good atmosphere, and interesting extracurriculars. Many opportunities can be gained. Caters to many jobs.

I really like the diversity and academic environment inside Jack Britt. I just wished more students at the school had a chance to really connect with one another.
