We moved our three kids here because we wanted a school for our kids that matched our Christian values. Come here if you are a Christian who cares about discipling your child, wants a good education for your child, wants an excellent sports program, and wants to participate in your child's education.

No, do not send your children here. They are not professionals, my teen has not been happy here, and is not getting a education. It does not get you really to go to college, and some kids end up at a community college, because they have flunked out. The only good thing is the student body. They are nice kids, and loving to each other.

Because the Princess loves it and it challenges her. It isn't a school that just 'gets by', they work to engage the students' minds and make them think for themselves.

JICS is a school with a new athletic director and headmaster; new programs for K-12th grade. Academically it will not only prepare your child for college but life. It is also a school that now desires to minister in character and Integrity. This is a school that is developing into a real christian environment in all areas.

JICS is a school with a new vision in athletics and academics. We have a new Athletic Director and Headmaster who both desire to see the students grow in academics, athletics and in ministry spiritually. If you are looking for a family and a school who wants character and Integrity; this is the school for you.

I disagree. JICS is not athletic driven. It is academically driven and has new text books, computers, and teachers. It is diverse and growing. This is a very good school.

This school is an athletics driven shool, and it has a good accedemics course. It has a Christian based curiculum as well as atmosphere. It is a nice small school where the teachers can get to know each student. JICS teachers also provide adequate tutoring if a student has fallen behind on anything.

About these ratings

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.

We currently do not have any test score information for this school. Unlike public schools, private schools are not always required to report data about their schools or not required to take the same tests as public schools. Many private schools take different standardized tests; however, that information is often made available only to families of enrolled students. We strive to acquire additional private school data whenever available.
