Jacksonville High School Reviews
Rating 3.45 out of 5 118 reviews
The school overall is mostly run by the students, as well as the entirety of the school having racist and sexist backgrounds. As a female, I was worked against in especially the sports department, as I would attempt to advocate for the girls teams to play in the Bowl or put Air Conditioning or even fans in our own high school gym, but was constantly turned down due to other “pressing” issues or it being the “wrong time”.
I attended Jacksonville High School from 2005-2009. I had just moved to Jacksonville, IL from Dallas, Texas. I was welcomed into a new high school with open arms. The principal at the start of my freshman and sophomore year, was a God fearing man who always prayed for the students and his staff everyday before the day started. I always felt so supported and loved by all of my teachers and even the administrators. I couldn't say enough about my experience. It is with honor to say that I am proud to be an alumni of Jacksonville High School.
I think Jacksonville Highschool, is a good school to go to since it is safe and not much happens in the town of Jacksonville, IL. Other than that, though if you have the opportunity to go somewhere else you should.
