Jackson High School has helped me become the person I am today! The school system is amazing and whenever there are a few bumps in the road they always seem to quickly find a solution! However if I were to have one negative comment it is that the new student parking lot is not at all feasible with the students needs, there's not enough parking for the one hundred plus students to accommodate.
Jackson High School has education for everyone which is one thing I love about the school. I am able to challenge myself by taking Advanced Placement courses and a large variety of extra curricular activities. The teachers at our school for the most part are wonderful but if I could change anything about the school it would be administration. Our administration has recently gone through many changes, and in my opinion these changes have not been beneficial. Jackson High consist of people among all levels of education. Our administration tends to target the higher level students when they could be spending their time with the students that actually need the necessary help to graduate and continue their life through post-secondary schooling.
Jackson High School is a great school with teachers always willing to help you, diverse students, and a huge variety of courses to choose from that suit your interests. Jackson High offers endless opportunities, however it doesn't offer everything therefore I would like to see more chances for independent study hours. You can take an independent study hour, but based on which teacher you choose as your mentor, you have to go just as they plan it out for you. You don't really have the independence of planning and executing the course as you wish. Jackson High School has many extracurricular activities to have fun after school and if you don't have time after school, you can take some extracurriculars in an hour during the school day. Jackon High School offers rigorous courses to help you challenge yourself academically and excel. Teachers are willing to help you succeed.
