Jennings is not a very good school at all the building is old and run down and is in need of repairs while the teachers are great but not all of them . And don't even get me started about the horrible rumors that i hear about the school.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 Missouri used the End-of-Course (EOC) Assessments to test high school students in Algebra I, Algebra II, Geometry, English I, English II, American History, Government, and Biology. The EOC Assessments are standards-based, which means they measure how well students are mastering specific skills defined by the state of Missouri for each subject. The goal is for all students to score at or above proficient on the test.
