Let me start off by saying this; I appreciate my school very much! My teachers are absolutely wonderful educators and deserve a hefty raise for how much they care for their students and lessons. The administration is so-so and definitely could give teachers more of the support that they need. Our maintenance and cafeteria staff always have a smile on their face and happy to help at any time. In other words, the staff is terrific. Unfortunately, the school’s culture is toxic and complacent. The students here have such an unwillingness to learn and refuse to put forth any effort into school. Although this is not true of everyone, this problem is rampant throughout the campus and leaves a lot of the teachers I have spoken to feeling frustrated.
JCHS is wonderful in preparing students for college and community college. The entire school system from Elementary to High School prepares each individual student based upon their specific needs. The school system has options for learning trades, dual classes, and a variety of stem class options. These classes can often give you opportunities to graduate high school with certificates and offer college classes credits.
JCHS is a small town school . There are not many students , and most of the parents work out of town. They have progressed somewhat through the years. I was pretty well satisfied with the way the school handled the Covid 19 pandemic. The staff are a little behind with the Senior class. I missed some college scholarships, that were available, but now have passed my window of opportunity. All in all, it has been a good learning experience for me.
