Jackson Academy has provided opportunities, challenges, and experiences I could not find anywhere else. The teachers at Jackson Academy are inexpressibly astounding and go out of their way to help students understand material. Not only do the teachers care for students’ education, they are also personally interested in students as they support us in sports, theater, college searches, and daily occurrences. The students also have an impactful voice on campus. If a large body of students notice a reasonable change that needs to occur, the staff will listen and has often helped make these changes happen. The only thing I wish to see changed about Jackson Academy is the push for students to consider schools outside of the Southeast. Although colleges in the Southeast are perfectly fine, many students do not even consider anywhere else becuase they are only encouraged to go to schools in the Southeast.
Jackson Academy has been amazing. Between the students, teachers, and staff, everyone can find where they belong. Although the school is private and therefore smaller than most schools, it has opportunities in athletics, arts, academics, and extracurricular like the outdoor club or the chess club. As an AP student, I feel as if the school has greatly prepared me for my exams and has shaped me into a better student. The teachers care for their students' wellbeings and often come to our events to support us. The school has a very supportive, loving environment that causes you to become a better and more well-rounded person without even realizing it.
Jackson Academy is a great school but unfortunately, it has fallen into the same bucket as MRA. A once great school (top 3 in state) that will see its eventual collapse academically because of athletic obsession. I came to JA to escape MRA's disdain for intuition, creativity, academic extra curricular activities, and academics in general. JA will be in total ruins in six to seven years if not much sooner if they continue to attempt to rid themselves of the thing they always had, a wonderful academic environment. If only JA would realize that things like business electives, pre law clubs/or class, debate teams, and such are what will save the school; not allowing students to reach their academic potential will be their death if not the crime of the city of Jackson and their obsession with sports.
