My experience at Jones was wonderful! Every teacher I had was passionate about their subject and advocated for their students. They did a great job at navigating what high school looks like during a pandemic. If I could go back in time and re-choose where to attend high school, I would still choose Jones in a heartbeat.
I really like Jones! It has a lot of clubs and sports. I am apart of swimming, math team, NHS, nehs, and student voice committee. Most of the teachers there are amazing and help you with your studies and life. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because the administration has failed to deal with many problems including racism and sexual assault. Overall, I love my classmates and we are fighting for change!
Jones tries its best to challenge students: no matter if their interests are a hobby or thinking about the future, they want to make sure you know what you're doing. It's overall a pretty diverse and unique school: the engineering programs that I have attended in my years of learning have really opened the doors into programs of study I would not have known if I had not taken it before. There are also some problems: the school is always in control. I am the president of a club, but anything that can be done must go through the school. This limits expression and my expectations of the future if a school that promotes "free thought" won't even let us use our budget to buy safety gear for our own members. Many incidents also go ignored; a fellow classmate had to go to court in order to get their voice heard, since the school dismissed them in the first place.
