I can say that the new principal in this school is so strict and if you don't obey the rules of the school you will get detention so you better go to your classes. They will think that you are cutting your class. I do follow the rules of this wonderful school. This is a very perfect school to be in.

Jamaica High School is a wonderful school, with excellent standards for education. Principal Dickler truly understands how to run an efficient school where students can also participate in extracurriculum activities. Also the Gateway program is and excellent program inside Jamaica that opens oppurtunities for the young students to get a head start on college. The football team is the bomb!
