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.
Jonesboro High School has some great students, parents, and faculty. The administration needs some backbone, but their hearts are in the right places. Student achievement is evident in the multitudes of community involvement and accomplishments throughout the various extra-curricular activities offered. The school does need to be kept clean.
The student that stated his/her oppinion about the school is correct. The school is not clean and the education is not like it used to be.
2007 National Mock Trial Champions, 2008 State Mock Trial Champions, Highest English Scores in Metro Atlanta, Award Winning Golf Teams, Award Winning Swim Teams, Jonesboro High School is a noteworthy school. There are many caring teachers on the faculty and dedicated administrators. As with many high schools, we could use more parental support. Our students recieve a quality education --especially if they take advantage of the myriad of opportunities at JHS.
The quality of academic programs is marginable. The good teachers are few and far between but they are there. The music and art programs are above average, they do have funding that is substantial for these programs. Sports are available and involving, although mostly losing records every year. The parents are not really involved at the level that would build a strong community based school. I would rate this school at a C+
