Jack Britt High School

Hard working people who carr about their students

I have 3 children going through JBHS, they each are different with different needs. I have found the administration to be responsive to my concerns. I have emailed teachers that my kids were having issues with or struggling in their classes and have had prompt responses and meetings that were set up with the teacher and the kids counselors. The administrators have also shown compassion and empathy when my family experienced hardship. They reached out to my children individually to see if they needed anything while dealing with the bad news. My kids are all coming out of school confident, knowledgeable, goal oriented, and with direction for their future success.

The overall experience that I have had with this school over the last 7 years has gone from superb to sh*t. My children are thankful to have a parent as such, because I do not sit back quietly. I have had to go to the County regarding the EC program, and this simply should not be. Prior Principals and leadership were great. Currently, the school is under a leadership that appears to not have the students best interest at hand.

I have tried to continuously get in contact with the teacher my son is having difficult with and received no feedback. I also had my daughter go to him and ask about tutoring for my son as he recommended because my son is too timid to ask and he also was unavailable. I understand that there are plenty of children to one teacher but I am trying to work with all of them from flunking my son but it seems they don't care. If you don't like your job then look else where, don't avoid the situation with the kids because parents do care about their children's education.
