Jenison High School is great for those who seek an all-around experience. I've heard it said that it takes a few years in college to realize what you really want to do, but I think Jenison is great at helping narrow it down.
I cannot recommend the school enough for a business education; their business classes involve work experience at a coffee shop, affiliation with DECA, and program called SQA, which can transfer credit to college and grant a 1 year degree in international study.
No school is perfect, though, and not every class will keep you awake. Their science classes make sense, but have too little hands-on learning. Their Honors classes make an effort, but fall short big-time in engaging the class. Their theatre program has motivated members, but I feel they could use some more events beside the big plays and the Thespian events.
Overall, Jenison is the kind of school that has something for everybody. If you are motivated and proactive, you will be very successful with Jenison.

High-caliber high school in west Michigan. Provides great classes and electives, and has truly amazing arts, music, and theater programs! I spent my middle school and Freshman years at a different district, and I sincerely wish I had been at Jenison sooner.
With Jenison being is West Michigan, the diversity is not the best. There are barely any people of color, and that reflects within the school. Jenison even has school on MLK day, which I think should be the first thing they should change. The campus is pretty small, and when I was a student I hoped that they would expand the campus. The teachers are absolutely wonderful and will help you through any of your academic struggles, and every year the administration helps students prepare for classes they need for college.
