Unable to accomodate Students' needs. My son attempted to get into AP Computer Science (part of his college/career aspirations and interest) and the school only offers the course in 1 class period. There is a long wait list for the class, I was told by one of the advisors that it was very unlikely that anyone on the wait list would be able to get into the class.
The school facilities are great, but the administration and math department are the worst around. Someone should remind them of the County Tag-Line "Where Students Come First."
The Math department at JCHS is horrid, I am told it is bad on all levels, but the team-taught math classes are very very poorly taught. The kids are always complaining that their 'assistant' math teacher spend more time focused on yelling at the students than teaching them. Fulton's integrated math program is part of the problem, but these teachers are simply not teaching. Of course, not all teachers or all departments are bad - but most of the team-taught assistant teachers are not worth their salary. And the other poster was correct about the lack of interest by teachers and administration to respond to parents inquiries and/or to provide any information. Great things were expected of this nearly new school, it is very disappointing to see so many so dissatisified with it now.
Do not service Special Education students satisfactorily or according to the law. Teachers and Administrators are not held accountable. Support staff is extremely rude to Parents and Students alike.
Great experience overall both academic and sports. Been happy with the parental involvement and the leadership at the school.
My son is very satisfied with its good teachers, caring administration and great facilities. Much better than most schools in Australia. Enjoying quite competitive academic environment. Many participating parents, not too aggressive. One of the best communities in the state. Well balanced ethnic diversity. No complaints so far.
Fantastic school, we couldn't be happier with the quality of education. This is a private school environment with excellent teachers.
