Mary Ryan is a school that JCPS really dons't want anyone to know about. We were told about this school about 5 years ago. After my son being beat up we were about to pull him out of school for good. That is When Mary Ryan came in to play for him he is a much happier person then he has ever been the school is a god send to us. My son graduated today! I want to thank all the wonderful staff

This is by far the best school ever, the staff accept and understand you have some emotional problems. There is nothing i hate about the school, well except the drama. Great teachers, great staff, very laid back (I can actually wear a trench coat without being tackled by an officer of the law).

This is the BEST school for high school student with mental health issues. Kids who do not need to be in a lock down facility but cannot function in a regular high school. If not for this school my son would not have been able to attend high school. Now he will be graduating at the end of this school year! Staff are WONDERFUL! I only wish it could expand and accept more students.

About these ratings

The Community Rating is the school’s average rating from its community members (e.g., parents, students, and school staff). The highest possible rating is five stars; the lowest is one star.

Oops! We currently do not have any test score information for this school. Public and charter school test scores for most states come from the state Department of Education. The most common reasons we might not have this data are either that not enough students took the test or that the school was recently opened, and its scores have not yet been reported.
