I think the counseling department at Jones does an amazing job at finding enrichment opportunities for students. Through their emails, I found out about the ACE Mentor Program, which greatly influenced the major I want to pursue and helped me get an apprenticeship over the summer. I feel fortunate to have a fountain of resources at school, because I know that not all students have those opportunities.
Jones has incredible students because it has amazing teachers. One particular English teacher was always a harsh grader, but because of her I learned to communicate better through my writing, which helped me excel in other courses. The AP classes at Jones are also great because there are so many to choose from, and my teachers were always available if I had trouble in class.

Jones College Prep is a very diverse college preparatory school. Students are selected from all over Chicago, and it is evident in the population. Teachers strive to help students succeed both inside the class and outside, and there is ample time provided for extra help. Because the school is college preparatory, the counselors really focus on early applications to colleges and for scholarships. The academics are very understandable and provide a good platform for upward mobility in terms of class selection. One downside is that the school consists of two unconnected building that are 6+ floors high, so a lot of climbing is required!
When I first visited Jones, the most vibrant feature was its architecture. At the Open House the school felt very much alive, colorful, and above all, welcoming. Throughout my years I find it noteworthy to mention that the upkeep and cleanness of the school was generally pleasing. Beginning as a freshman I had a difficult time finding my niche, but I eventually found a group of students who would become great friends. The student body is filled with artistic, intelligent, humble, and ambitious people that are worth meeting. The classes and clubs offered are diverse, and the block scheduling allows for practice in time management and freedom. I met a lot of staff members who were down to earth, approachable, and impacted me as a student; others, myself and peers did not particularly agree with the practices of. Overall my experience with Jones could be described as positive, though sometimes the rigor was overwhelming.
