#1 Best Private High Schools in Jackson Area
Alum: Great community to be apart of! There is always a push to improve resources and curriculum. There is a focus on integrating technology in the classroom which sometimes hurt the learning atmosphere. Considering how fast technology changes this may no longer be the case since I've graduated. Learning is prioritized but fun doesn't get left behind. Dances were always fun to plan and promote and attend. S I wish the visual arts programs were more developed and encouraged. While I attended the art teachers really inspired me, but I wish they had better rooms and materials to work with. By the time I graduated high school, I felt very prepared for college. I do think the counselor didn't give me the time of day because I wasn't at the very top of class and I didn't want to become a doctor or lawyer. Either way I got into a top art school in the country and have an amazing job in my field.

#2 Best Private High Schools in Jackson Area
Junior: Jackson Academy is without a doubt the number one school in Jackson, MS. Jackson Academy focuses on it students ability to succeed and prioritizes this over even a students speed at taking in information. They do whatever they can to insure that each student is showing their full potential as they grow closer to a college level. Because much of the school is student led with guidance of proctors and teachers, there are no real issues in the school because the students have implemented the majority of decisions. It is also a great school because they distribute your own device specifically for you that you may take home to enjoy and do your homework on. Currently every high school student is given an IPad or computer in order for them to excel technologically and academically

#3 Best Private High Schools in Jackson Area
Junior: I have been at Jackson Prep since 6th grade and have loved every second of it! The staff and students are some of the best people you will ever meet. I have had the best mentors through the years. So many amazing teachers have taught me valuable lessons not only in the classroom, but also out of class. I feel that Jackson Prep gives you so many more opportunities that you may not get at other schools. The college counseling program is amazing. The art department is absolutely amazing! We have great athletics, clubs and events. I know high school will always be this amazing experience I can look back on as an adult.

#5 Best Private High Schools in Jackson Area
Parent: MRA is a college prep school with a Christian emphasis that prepared my daughter thoroughly for college! From kindergarten to high school graduation the academics, leadership opportunities, community service programs, and true family atmosphere nurtured her to be very well equipped for her future. The faculty and staff are amazing and still remain interested in her well being even after she graduated.

Senior: The Piney Woods School is a great school for upcoming high schoolers!!! I am currently a uprising senior at the Piney Woods School and every thing is Amazing. I like the dorms a lot, they are set up just like it would be at college. So when you go to college you already know what to expect from the dorms and dorms parents and the other students there. One thing I do not like about the school is the lack of communication the staff and faculty have sometimes, but overall it’s great!!!

Parent: A true family environment! Much smaller classes make for a better learning opportunity. The Athletic program offers any/all athletics that any athlete may be interested in. Bible class is a plus at this school that is not provided at any public institution. As a new transfer from public to this private school, we are truly blessed. Every aspect of our new year has been phenomenal. We love our new family and friends. Everyone wraps themselves around this school and all the students that are here. Keep asking ourselves, "Where have we been all this time?" Looking forward to getting more involved and becoming even closer to all the new friends that we have made!
