Lots of varied class choices, with many AP course offerings and some different class options. Great teachers who care about students. Awesome swim team! Many after school club choices for students with different interests.
Jamestown is a great school. The curriculum at Jamestown is very advanced and it is taught very well. The teachers really care about the students and take the time to assure the subjects are taught thoroughly. The rules at school are very fair, for example, our dress code is not restricting, and the students have the opportunity to give their output. Our school is very clean and although there is little outdated supplies, Jamestown is constantly evolving to create an adequate learning environment. I'd say my complaints with Jamestown lies in diversity. Jamestown is a predominantly white school and there tends to be less representation for students of color. I also think the arts are overshadowed by the sports. While athletic departments are very important for a school to have, the arts are just as important and are usually looked over. However, Jamestown is a wonderful school overall and I'm happy I've been able to attend.
When I attended Jamestown, I admired the feelings of togetherness and community that were engrained in the culture there. The staff at Jamestown did everything in their power to bring the best performance and understanding from their students. The only negative aspect of the school is the opposing of independent study in seniors at the highschool. In my opinion, one important function of the public education system is to prepare students for the independent study settings of college. Overall, my experience attending Jamestown High School was a memorable one.
