Jackson Memorial is a great school to go to, while they may not be first in the state they have a great academics program. Not to mention the schools variety of clubs, activities, and sports. The teacher are really nice and really care for their students. They have academies which basically chooses all of your courses for your years here. There's the STEM academy, Business Academy, Arts academy which is Art, Music (Instrumental and Vocal), and there used to be Drama, however due to low enrollment they've stopped that section but you can still take the classes. The band is a nationally recognized ensemble, they've been in the Philadelphia Thanksgiving Day Parade numerous times, as well as the Miss America Parade when it was in Atlantic City, and have even performed in Pasadena at the Rose Bowl Parade. There's a great community in Jackson and so much to do!
Really good teachers really cool people really nice town had a really great time here always helped by the teachers and staff really made the college experience what it’s meant to be
I like how Jackson Memorial High School has numerous clubs and sports to reach out to all students. However, I would like for the students at Jackson Memorial to accept each other more and bond more than they currently do.
Jackson Memorial high school has been a wonderful experience for my friends and I. As a senior, I am sad that I will have to leave this school soon however, I do look forward to college. The teachers here truly have helped my knowledge grow throughout my years here. The school spirit inside this school is overwhelming. With the school having both great academics, sports teams, and art department, this is a great place for any kid.
I've been attending Jackson Memorial High School for 2 years now and I love this school. Even though, I'm pretty sure using the words love and school in the same sentence is criminal, I still enjoy my time at Memorial. The building itself is pretty old so it has a lot of character and the school spirit is just gushing through the halls. I really like the football games and the pep rally. There are two rival schools in my town so the best is when it's Liberty (the other school in Jackson) vs. Memorial. The tension in the stands is incredible, no matter what sport it is. I always move a lot and have been to many different schools but so far this one is my favorite. Everyone gets along and the vibe is unbeatable.
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.
