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 is a very good high school. It's academically challenging while still providing necessary arts. It has great opportunities for enhancing learning! It's centered in downtown Chicago so the scenery, as well as the surrounding places, is nice. Though not everything is as great as it seems, it's still a great school overall. The teachers are very supportive and you get to meet people from all over Chicago!
Jones College Prep is an amazing school that offers a variety of different honors and Advance Placement. Located in downtown Chicago, Jones students are able to be near almost everything. Jones Student are able to see and connect with neighboring college campuses such as DePaul University and Columbia College. Jones is an amazing school, however, it still needs some room for improvement. There have been several racists incidents that have affected its students. As long as the school does something to prevent these incident from happening Jones College Prep is an outstanding school with a welcoming environment.
