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!
I loved the Jones community! Jones offered a 'Freshman Connection' program at the beginning of my freshman year, and it set me off to a great start with making friends and learning more about the school. I was very prepared and amazed by how hospitable the school was to me as well as all of its students. All classes at Jones are Honors (excluding AP), so I was worried I wouldn't do well at first. But the teachers and resources at my school helped me get high grades and skills on time management and studying. Many of the clubs offered at jones were suited to my tastes and were very welcoming! They had so many options to join, and I was glad a great majority of my schoolmates shared the same interests as me. Applying for this school is set in stone to be one of my proudest moments, because my high school experience so far has been one of a kind.
My high school experience has helped me grow so much. The academics might sound super challenging, but most teachers really put the time and effort to help every student out. This school has kids from all over Chicago, being able to meet new people was such an eye opener for me. We have many security guards around school. They might seem intimidating, but honestly have the sweetest hearts for the kids. This school is also right in the middle of Downton, Chicago. The surroundings around makes this school a very safe environment. With our resources not only do we have our own library, but it is also connected to Harold Washington library. It is also another safe place for students to go to. Our parent's involvement is very huge, we are so fortunate to have donators for things like electronics and sports. We also have the best counselors, we have been preparing for colleges for awhile and I know they want to make sure every student is able to have an opportunity at somewhere great.
