Jones Senior High School is a fantastic place to work as well as learn. Dispite the tainted past of Jones Senior, the "new " Jones Senior has undergone changes in the last few years it is now full of strong leadership and administration as well as dedicated teachers. For the first time in History, Jones Sr. was declared a School of Distinction by the State of North Carolina, a true honor for not only the student, faculty and staff but the community as a whole. If you are moving in new to the area, please give Jones Senior High School a chance, you wont regret it!!!!!

I am a former student of Jones Senior. My problem with the school is a mixture of many issues. I think a lot of the teachers have become used to the out of control nature there. The students are disrespectful and lack discipline. There are some truly wonderful teachers at this school, but the majority have given up. My education suffered because of the disruptiveness of my classmates. If there is any way you can avoid sending your child to this school, do it.

I, too, would like to thank the Guidance Counselor, the Assistant Principal and all the teachers who are educating my son.

I would like to say that Jones Senior is a good school. It may not be a top A school, but it sure isn't a low F. Jones Senior has areas that are great. There are teachers that do can about that students and are willing to help in what ever area they may need it. And yeah there are other areas that need to be improved and those areas are beeing improved. But inspite of those not so ggod areas Jones Senior is still a great school. And for those people that can only complain about the bad areas how about you stop talking about it and do something to help.But I still say Jones Senior is a great school. -Moya Ellison

As a former student of this school I can say that my experience at Jones Senior High School was not what it should have been. There are only maybe two or three teachers at the school that actually have a passion for what they do and want to help the students succeed. As a current Education major the only thing that Jones Sr. really helped me with was showing me exactly what not to do as a teacher. Many classes I took while in school did not even have teachers. Teachers are also horrible for picking favorites.The guidance counselors didn't do anything to help 'some' of us get into college and quite frankly didn't care if we even stayed in school. The majority of the time they were 'Out to Lunch'. The staff at this school are very unprofessional and do not care about the well-being of the students.
