I love Jemison High School. Truly, I do, but there are many things that can be improved. Firstly, we need more language options. As a future Foreign Language major, it would be nice to know more than a few spanish terms. Secondly, the new principal must go! He is hardly ever present at the school, and his new regime did not go well last year, and will never go well, in my opinion. Thirdly, and perhaps most importantly, the uniforms have got to go! They are costing extra money for students and parents in this economically challenging times. They have caused more fights than ever, and students are being put in ISS for reasons that are ridiculous, such as forgetting to tuck in a shirt after using the restroom. Uniforms cause many problems within the school, and the old dress code should have been enforced better.

I am a '08 graduate of JHS and i am glad i went to the school. i was an athlete and i enjoyed playing football, basketball and tennis for the school. The administration let me have a very flexible schedule and there are so many electives to offer at the school. The school is not to big and not to small but is in need of a new builiding, that is for sure. I am glad my parents chose JHS also because it has really prepared me for college. I have a 4.0 and im an ambassador at my college and i love it. Keep doing what your doing Jemsion.... Go Panthers!

Hi Im a student here at JHS and i Love the school only if the uniforms were taken away. Like someone said earlier on in the reviews that i have read i think they take away our individuallity and they need to be taken away. Other than that i think the school is a great place to be the teachers are nice and the activities after school are awsome. I am a softball player at the school and Coach Robinson is a great coach although we havent won many games we are still one of the few that have class and i am here to say that our school has that and it is a good thing to have but to my concerns we do need to repair some of the things in the school and some things are perfectly fine... I would apperciate it if these issues were taken careof.

As a student at JHS, I wish I could move to a better quality school. For one, I do not like the uniforms, the first year of uniforms is alomst over, and still many student everyday are getting in trouble for not following the dress code. If they think this will change within the years, they are wrong. Secondly, the academics are what you owuld excpect for a 3 star schhol. They do not challenge us enough, and they do this purposely to higher our grades and make the school look good. Also, my sister, a former JHS student, said they did not prepare her for college. Third of all, It is an old, worn out school. The hallways are WAY to crowded. Ask any student, it is ridiculous. Also, there are pipes and wires visible in the halls, hanging from the ceiling. I dont like it

As a student of Jemison High school, I find that academically,we are slightly above average. As for Sports teams, there could be more. I think that Mrs. Gibson is doing a wonderful job except for one issue-uniforms. I think that it does take away some of our individuality and creativity. On a brochure I received, It said that it would help stop the cliques in the school. I think that is wrong. The school will always be divided into the cliques-the jocks,the geeks, the band nerds(of which I am one), the goths, skateboarders, and so on. Anyway, speaking of the band, Mr. martin is THE best thing that has ever happened to the band program. I love it all! -Abbie S.

I graduated from JHS and now my daughter is a Senior. I think it is a great school. Mr. Martin is great with the Band. I think the school is doing a great job with our kids. If some kids more parent involvement at home and school, then the schools job would not be so hard.

As a junior currently attending Jemison High, there are quite a few things I do not agree with. The administration's decision to feature uniforms next year, their misdirected worries, among other things, make this school not exactly my favourite place to be. On the positive side, however, Mrs. Gibson and many teachers have a strong Christian approach to certain issues, such as drugs and sex. Some areas of the school need to be repaired, and others only slightly improved. Some after-school activities need to be better chaperoned, due to recent incidents. Overall, this school is what you'd expect of one out in the country.
