Such a positive atmosphere and wonderful school. Me, and my two children that went to JA love the their friends, the staff, the band, Raider network, and the carnival! read more

Jackson Academy - Graduated with honors! - Elementary Schools Near Me - Jackson, Mississippi

Jackson academy is great for education it has a great spirit you can make a ton of friends here and I would really recommend this school

Jackson Academy says the school is Christian based and believes all students should have access to good Christian base education. However, if the students are not able to pass the Jackson Academy test according to their standards the students are not smart enough and the teachers can not help you will receive an email from Jackson Academy regretting that the teachers are unable to help the student. I never heard that an educator was not able to help a student in need. (What are they saying). The committee members are not reading the Bible. If the committee members had read Proverb 3:27 the committee members would have known that God said-Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due. When it is in your power to do it. The book of St. John 3:16 read- god loved the world that he gave his only son so that everyone who believes in him won't perish but will have eternal life. (Remember this is a school that says they love God). God has no respectful person, and Proverb 19:17 reads - whoever is kind to the poor lend to the Lord, and he will reward them for what they have done. Jackson Academy says that God is the reason for its prosperity. However, this may have been true in the upcoming years but now it is a thriving school, and committee members are making decisions and have forgotten to put God in the decision-making. Finally, the Bible read in Isaiah 3:11 Woe to the wicked! It will go badly with him, for what he deserves will be done to him. God is not please!! With Jackson Academy. read more

I graduated from here, and my years here were miserable. But, I will say the education is pretty good here compared to other schools in Mississippi. However, I do not believe the "critical reading" teaching here is not up to par. The school is lowering their grade scale; an "A" used to be a 95-100, but, as of this year, it will be a 92-100. It is obvious some people are chosen for awards because their parents work there, or they are "gift from God." If you or your child is different in anyway, he will be disregarded by his classmates, and maybe even teachers. It is way too expensive for the quality of education. Jackson Prep's tuition costs about the same, and yet, there are much more National Merit Semifinalists and such. St. Andrew's is more expensive than JA, but it's education is the finest in Mississippi, except for Mississippi School of Math and Sciences. Honestly, (I'm not writing this because of a grudge or anything), but Jackson Academy is a rip off, and your child or you should look at another school. Unless you are only interested in sports, because Jackson Academy will only praise you if you play sports. read more

This school is very nice. The school is probably known for its link with apple. J.A. has a poor P.E. standard once in 6th grade. I only took P.E. for 9 weeks for 45 minutes which is really not a lot. But, otherwise everything checks out except for the dreaded reading teachers of 5th and 6th grade. Also, the tech center got rid of steam on my computer which they let me get a year ago. So, what is up. Otherwise great school. read more

I had the wonderful experience of shadowing the Dean, Matt Morgan, as part of my portfolio for graduate school. He portrayed courtesy, kindness and intelligence during my visit. Everyone I met was professional and courteous. The innovation I saw was engaging and students seemed genuinely excited to learn. Jackson Academy has a foundation built upon positive ethics and it shows. Students were well-mannered and respectful to each other as well as adults. High ethical standards continue to the respect for others property. The students did not have locks on their lockers, but everyone respected personal property. I would recommend Jackson Academy as a great school. read more
