Terrible school. I am currently enrolled in this school. Aside from the poor sanitation quality of this school, the academic quality itself is far from sufficient. Lets just say I'd rather home-school my future kids than send them there...

I went to this school and hated it. Not only were the facilities awful, but so was the faculty. Horrible Horrible school. I would never in a million years send my children to this school!

I recently just finished school here. It's a good school, but they are way more focused on the rules than they are teaching us anything. They are way too strict on everything. I don't like how they're molding us to be what they want. The students hardly have any freedom to express themselves or be who they are. That's not a good quality for a school. People are people, not who you want them to be. I just wish Biloxi would lighten up a bunch.

Hi,I am currently a student here at BJHS. I personally think this school needs some improvement. I don't like the way teachers handle fights in the classroom and I think that the school is dirty. The classrooms are small and messy. The school is also not very big. This is school is by- far the worst!

I think that this school is very great. I loved it very much. I was very sad when we had to leave to go to Colorado. We hope to see the school again. The only thing that is bad about this school in the food. If the food changed and it was healther than more students would eat the lunches. That is all I have to say.
