Good school. Teaches you everything you need to know. The only complaint is that they are not the most transparent when it comes to switching classes. Other than that it was a fine experience.
Overall the business and math teachers/program was excellent. Facilities are starting to get older and run down.
Jackson Memorial provided me with time with some outstanding staff members. I have multiple teachers throughout my time at Jackson Memorial who worked hard to challenge me in developing both intellectually and emotionally.
Jackson Memorial is a very well rounded high school that is very good with academics and after school activities. I have never felt left out or board at my school. Their is always fundraisers and fun events that go on everyday.
The school was okay.. our sports are pretty decent but one thing that I hated was how the school handled students wanting to go into more advanced levels of learning. To get into honors classes, it wasn’t just about your grades, but it was also about your teachers opinions on you as a student. It took till my junior year to go into advanced courses because, although I had the grades (93s and over in everything), my teachers wouldn’t let me advance myself because I USED to be in an IEP system and felt I was still “special Ed” and not qualified, even though I wasn’t even involved in the IEP system anymore. I had to beg my teachers the next year to let me transition into harder work because it was just so easy for me in regular courses. I wish the rule were that, if you had the grades and wanted to push yourself, you’d be allowed to go into advanced classes. Not based off of the teachers opinions of you.
I’ve gone here since freshman year and honestly they haven’t really handled online learning very well, a lot of the teachers are older and have a difficult time with it. However when things were normal I liked it well enough.
Memorial has had its ups and downs like many schools but always pushes through and stays committed to keep the students attending on the right path.The food is what you’d expect from a high school cafeteria if not better than average. As a student who’s spending his senior year online, I do miss rushing to be the first in line for a sandwich that turned a bad day into an alright one. Faculty remains professional through tough times and takes care of unforeseen scenarios very well. The sports teams at this school are always very competitive as well as entertaining. The football field bleachers are packed every game day with kids and parents of players. During Covid-19, the school made every attempt to get us back into the building because they know sitting behind a screen for hours upon end is painful for everyone. In 15 years or so when I have kids, I wouldn’t be disappointed enrolling them into Jackson Memorial High School.
This school excels in academics and sports. However, there is a huge lack of diversity. The food is subpar and bathrooms are always shutdown, so if you have to go during school - too bad.
Jackson Memorial High School is a great school and offers students many opportunities to be successful.
This school has a lot of school spirit, helpful staff, and an easy to navigate campus. I'm extremely thankful for my school!
Some of the best moments of my life happened here. Great school Wonderful teachers. Amazing learning environment for the students the teachers and staff have a huge focus on your success as a students and readiness for the future.
Most of teachers are helpful, laidback, and willing to answer any questions you have. But some of the teachers might give a lot of work and expect more from you. I recommend participating in class. Sometimes, the hallways get very crowded and the bathrooms don't work properly as they should.
As a parent, we are/were extremely satisfied with our child's education throughout the whole line of schooling. From grade school to middle school, and then through JMHS, we were confident in our child's education from all schools.
Our child is attending one of the best Ivy League schools in the nation. This is certainly in part, testament to the education received through his time at Jackson Memorial HS.

The athletics are amazing. JMHS has great school spirit. Most of the teachers are so awesome and are always willing to help.
Being able to go to school, see my friends and my teachers, have it a home like feel. I felt like i was at home with only just being there for 4 years. The football games, the dances, and all the fun events my school has set up truly gave me the best high school experience. I cant stress enough how happy this place has made me. It’s like my second home and I will surely miss it once I graduate.
This school is most famous for athletics and is a great school for a thriving young athlete. Academics are average, although there are many educational and academic opportunities for students. The band is amazing and very talented. Art and theater students also are provided with a great atmosphere and tools for success at well-renowned universities, specializing in the arts. Everyone takes pride in being a jaguar, so so so much school spirit with very fun football games and pep rallies.
The school itself isn't anything big or luxurious, but as a high school senior I can say that this school shaped who I am. The community and people that surround you at Jackson Memorial are unparalleled to any other of my friends schools. There are a multitude of clubs and sports activities so you can really find your niche, and friends for life just like I have.
