This is my eleventh year at Jackson Christian, and each year I think it can't get worse but it does. The ONLY reason I haven't changed schools is because I've grown up with all these students and would hate to leave them so close to graduation. Out of all the teachers in this school only three are actually good at their job. The ignorance of the staff gets worse every year as well. This school's only focus is to stay STREAM accredited. They could care less about the student's grades, learning environment, motivation, and over all well being and its extremely obvious. If I could start over my school career I would have never come to this school.
Love this school!
I love that my little brother is going to be able to grow up in this Christian school environment also.

I have attended Jackson Christian School since Kindergarten. I am now a senior. I have loved my time at this school. The focus on faith is one of my favorite parts. If I had to describe Jackson Christian in one word, it would be FAMILY. I know the students, faculty, and staff will always be there for me. I have received a quality education during my time at JCS.
JCS offers dual credit and AP classes. The hot lunches are delicious and prepared onsite. The teachers are caring and do their absolute best to help each child grow. They go above and beyond for their students. JCS helped me strengthen my walk with Christ.
After attending a different private school in the area for Elementary school, Jackson Christian has been a place where I have found my people. The teachers and administrators are very caring and real. I was accepted for myself and found a group of people that care for me as I am. This was a great choice for me and my family.
Jackson Christian left much to be desired. They claim academic excellence, but provide no AP courses. In their place, dual credit courses are provided, but they do not transfer to many colleges and universities. Furthermore, many teachers did not understand their subject material and merely memorized a textbook. Confronting them with deeper questions about their subject often resulted in blank stares and hasty dismissal. If your child has any ambitions of going to an elite university, this is not the proper preparation for them. In my time, my counselor acted outwardly annoyed that I did not want to attend one of the colleges they normally send students to. Whether by ignorance or malice, I received little to no guidance throughout the entire application process and was made to fill out counselor forms myself. Academic excellence indeed.
I liked the fact that Jackson Christian was diligenvt in the way they taught and stood for their values. I would like to see more emphasis in preparing youth for college and focusing more on act preparation.
In my years at Jackson Christian, I have gained stong relationships with many students and faculty. Jackson Christian is a place that has the best intentions towards getting their students on the right path. The faculty works hard to help you understand the lessons they teach. If nothing else, the faculty and staff at Jackson Christian make sure to keep the environment around you as safe as possible and teach you that whatever you may do, do it for the glory of God.
I've had four children attend Jackson Christian. Two of my children are currently in college and two are currently attending the high school. Both of my college age children are pursuing technical degrees in linguistics and engineering. Both were well prepared for their college work. The school does a great job of being both rigorous academically and caring on a personal level. We have been very happy with our experience there.
Tell others about your experience. What did you like about Jackson Christian School? What would you like to see change?
Jackson Christian is a constantly changing family environment perfect for a blossoming child of any age. The teachers actually care about their students and their walk with God. Just by walking in the hall leaves you with a sense of awe. Not only is the education great, but strangely so is the food. Every morning the lunch staff prepare everything from scratch filling the school with the aroma of fresh protein with cookies and pie for dessert.
Jackson Christian works very hard to better its students academically, emotionally, and spiritually. I appreciate their efforts. But sometimes they lack the ability to be consistent. Some people got called out on breaking the rules and some don't. They also have some very good teachers and some that don't seem to care.
I love our activities but we aren't that good at sports, so it isn't as fun.
Some of my classes are engaging and I really enjoy them. Some are boring and I can barely get through them.
State of the art security measures, locking doors to keep classrooms safe from possible intruders.... Elementary play area is gated for security also.
There is something for everyone!
We have state of the art security systems on campus, all doors lock at 8 a.m. to insure children stay in the safest environment as well as each teacher door locks as well to prevent a potential intruder entering the classroom. JC also has a sick room isolated away from heavy traffic areas to keep sick students in a quiet area until pick up and to prevent the spreading of germs. All aggressive behavior is addressed immediately to prevent bullying also.
