Research Jackson Preparatory School private Schools in Ridgeland, Mississippi

“I went to the school from the 7th grade until the tenth grade and it was honestly overall a terrible experience. From the frequent racial slurs to the lack of outside cultural acceptance, it does not meet very high standards. Most of the students there have rich parents who donate large sums of money to the school so they can tramp all over the lesser student body at their will while knowing that there wont be repricussions. Furthermore, I feel that the root of the problem is that the school was founded on white supremacists values and the descendants of those who attended during that time have come back to the school. I now attend St. Andrews Episcopal school and not only feel that it is a better college prep school, but it is far more advanced than Jackson Preperatory will ever be.”

“Prep has a great variety of extra-curricular activities from fine arts through athletics for a wide range of students. The teachers are committed and experienced as shown through the national test results and scholarship opportunities for students.”

“Academic Program is excellent and extra-curricular activities are available for all students. Instructors are experienced and several have Ph.D's A child is truly prepared for college or university if he graduates from Prep.”

“Jackson Prep is one of the finest schools I have ever attended. The teachers a great, and they truly challenge students. Jackson Prep is a college prep school. The school has many team sports, and has a very fine music and art department. The parents are very involved their cgildren. Jackson Prep is the best school in the area.”

“Excellent school. The teachers are very experienced and are extremely helpful. The advisors are very helpful in providing any information you may need to help your child perform well. They prepare your child to achieve well on standarized tests which play a large part in your college future. Parent involvement is great. They also have a large number of extracurricular activities to choose from. My child scores mostly a's and a few b's in honor subjects and still has time to dance at least 15 hours a week. The children are well rounded and friendly. JP is the best school in the Jackson area.”

“Tends to be too 'college' prepatory...very competitive, large amounts of schoolwork, which if your child happens to be a 'B-C' student, tends to put alot of pressure on children. If you desire a better balance or your child is considered 'laid-back' - you may want to consider another school.”

“By far the finest school in the Jackson area and in the State of Mississippi. Truly a college preparatory cirriclum.”
