I’ve been a bit of a bad kid at this school but the administration are very rude honestly. I mean they’re very mocking towards you. I’d say it’s alright, the students are nice, well some of em and the teachers are somewhat nice. but i truly dislike the administration.

Third year at GJHS, and so far we never had problem. My children loves the school and so do I. My son is into swim team, both had great years at school. The administrators, teachers and staffs are wonderful and it is the only school in Polk county with 5 academies to offer. The students have choices as to what interest them in choosing their electives which eventually helps and prepares them to pursue college course. I only have great things to say about George Jenkins high school. #eaglesoarhigh

We moved to Jenkins from out of state. Our son doesn't just fit in, but he found his crowd and after buckling down had a great JR. and SR. years. Teachers were great and communicated with us well. staff was always friendly and helpful. We love this community and are going to stay in this area for our daughters to attend this great school. After reading reviews of "spoiled rich kids and horrible school" I would just say this has not been our experience. We are normal people with normal jobs. Our children are treated well and the school seems to have things in order. If your into extreme over exaggeration than listen to the 1 star reviews, but if you want a nice school with good teachers and friendly people in Lakeland, GJ is a great choice. I'm sure we could find something to bellyache about, but over all we loved our GJ experience.

My daughter has been at Jenkins since her Freshman year of high school and graduates this year. She has played varsity soccer all four years. I have nothing but great things to say about the school. She has had amazing teachers and coaches and the administration has been wonderful!
