this school is horrible. they changed my graduation requirements in february and i was supposed to walk in may. they didn't tell me my requirements had changed until it was far too late for me to catch up. they ignore the safety needs of lgbtq+ students (there were slurs written on bathroom stalls for 2 years and students get called slurs in hallways. students are threatened with biolence regularly. admin does nothing). only one janitor for both buldings. the bathrooms and classrooms are disgusting at all times. teachers are often bad at their jobs, bad people, or dont put effort into engaging with the students. please dont send your children to jpec, you’ll regret it.
Jackson Preparatory and Early College is by far the best school I have every attended. It is better than every other school.
I really enjoyed the teachers at JPEC, as the heightened my high school experience for the better and encouraged my success thoroughly. The only thing I would like to see changed/improved on would be the communication of information with dual-enrolled students, though I have definitely seen improvements on this aspect during the course of my time at the school.
Jackson Preparatory and Early College is an amazing school for many reasons. I love attending JPEC because the teachers are so helpful, everybody there is so accepting, and it actually feels like a safe environment to learn in. Our administrative staff is the best and they really try to have a personal relationship with the students. They are always checking up in the classrooms and letting students know that they are able to talk to them.
Along with having an amazing staff, there is an amazing student body. Our current class president is very involved and is always trying to find new ways to advocate for the students. In my personal opinion, this is one of the best schools for all types of students.

The only good thing is the college classes which sometimes they can’t get that right either. Communication is horrible
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.
At Jackson Preparatory and Early College, there is many opportunities to accelerate. You are able to work at your own pace, and everyone is given one on one learning with teachers. The staff are so amazing and caring towards every student. Each student is given the chance to graduate early. We are also all given the chance to dual enroll and be college ready.
I love the way the school is set up. Allowing students to dual enroll AND participate in the Career Center as well as complete high school requirements was definitely a plus. The only complaint is the athletics, other than the cross country team (which is actually really good), most teams spend the season losing
It prepared me for college courses and had a generally very accepting student body. It felt that all faculty wanted me to succeed in my time there.
With work JPEC is by far the best school I've gone through throughout the years. Being able to potentially get a Bachelor's degree by the end of high school is an amazing opportunity.
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.
Jackson Preparatory & Early College is a great theoretical concept but this facility is poorly evolved. My child and a few others are leaving at the end of this term and we have been informed by more than one school that our child may have to repeat a grade due to the difference in curriculum. Not impressed.
THE PROGRAM HAS GREAT POTENTIAL. THE PROGRAM IS IN ITS 5TH YEAR AND HAS A WAY TO GO. GETTING BETTER EACH YEAR.
JPEC is an incredible school. The school allowed me to excel in to college courses and finish all of my high school schools within then first two trimesters of ninth grade.
I really like the way that JPEC teaches and the way the teachers develop a friendly relationship with students.
I absolutely love Jackson Preparatory and Early College. My favorite part about JPEC is that students have the opportunity, to take college courses and graduate with an Associate Degree. There are a lot of clubs and activities that students can join or do. One thing that I would like to see change would be the languages that they offer for students to learn.
The school was more or less a good transition place before college. I would like to see the school be more open-minded and attracting place where students can enjoy their time in high school. If the place is more welcoming and diversified, I believe things will change.
