They try to say that there isn’t a lot on bullying but there is and when you get bullied they don’t do anything about it. I told them that I was being bullied and they didn’t even talk to the bully. They don’t provide lunches, so a lot of students don’t eat. We get in trouble for being even 1min late when sometime you have to walk from one side of campus to the other. Some teachers are nice but most of the students are kinda annoying. Sometimes they put you in classes that you don’t need and they won’t let you drop them. They also make up dumb classes and force you to take them, and if you fail it is permanently on your transcript.
Jackson Prep. and Early College was an amazing school choice for me personally. The staff there is very insufficient and any kid that goes there must be driven to be the best that they can be in order to succeed at this school. The staff does not baby the students like other high schools do. If you don't get a B or above, you fail the class. The high school classes are not up to par with normal high school classes because the teachers just aren't as good. However, if you are determined enough they let you start college classes at just fifteen, in which you can get both high school and college credit from Jackson College. The professors at Jackson College are phenomenal. This school gives student who are ready for it, the responsibility and independence of a college student. Nothing else has prepared me for real life and school like this place has.
Overall, JPEC is a wonderful institution. It allows students to work at their own pace and earn college credits while still in highschool via dual enrollment at the local college, but is not without its flaws. A bit of favoritism and ineptitude among a handful of the staff and lack of control over younger students can sour the experience greatly.
