Jamestown High School Reviews
169 reviews
All Categories
Classes had an average of 18-25 students, with larger ones having around 30. It was harder for teachers to help everyone & make sure students are not cheating.
Older rules need to be reviewed by the school and some need to be changed.
Advisory period needs to be monitored to watch for teachers who are teaching during times meant for students to finish hw. Smaller student clubs are available but not advertised so knowing about them can be difficult.
Lunches need to be handled differently, some students were barley getting back to their table with food before they had to leave.
Leaving the final line out of the parking lot needs safety signs for drivers.
Computers are available in the library, labs, or on carts the teachers sign out.
A couple textbooks (depends on the course) are old, falling apart, & or drawn all over.
Bathroom utilities have been broken & left broken for a while. The bathrooms have had no soap for more than a week even after alerting staff about it.

The teachers at this school are very helpful and they genuinely care about their student's well being. The academic rigor is very balanced and provide students with a balance of easier classes as well as AP classes. The multiple clubs provided at the school range from academic to sports to extracurricular activities like photography. The swim team has been one of the best in the state for the past four years for both boys and girls teams. The only sport that Jamestown does not excel in in football. The resources for athletics and theater are very well balanced. The theater department is funded less than the athletic department but the theater department does with what it has and always puts on spectacular shows for the community. however, the food at the school is very poor and a bit overpriced. In conclusion the school is very good.
Jamestown has numerous teachers and coaches who form personal relationships with motivated students, always pushing them and helping them. The administration is personal, and the academics are amazing. Jamestown has great teachers in math, English, and Spanish, especially for AP classes. If I had to change one thing about Jamestown, I would make it more diverse; other nearby schools are much more heavily populated with minority students, while Jamestown suffers from a largely homogeneous and entitled student body.
