    I just read the comment and basically 95% of what they said is still in effect…read more Phones - 1st offense, they take it for a day 2nd offense, they take it for two weeks 3rd offense, they take it until the end of the year. Depriving a working member of society basic necessities in maintaining a job that helps provide themselves or their family basic human essentials is inhumane and immoral. Yes, they are highschoolers, and yes, they are children, but considering the area in which the school is located it is not a far stretch to say that many adults live check by check with the help of their children in order to keep their house and food on the table. They're allowed to make mistakes given their age, but the severity of the punishment does not fit the crime. Education- Most of the teachers do not take the time to accommodate their students learning needs. I've heard horror stories throughout the halls and experienced it myself where teachers will attempt at an explanation of a topic and fail miserably. They will then proceed to be surprised when the entire class failed the test. When the classroom is full of kids who want to learn and better themselves, the problem isn't them, it's the way the teachers teach. Grades- This is one of the things they've changed since my freshman year (14-15) there. Their grading system was once unbelievably difficult and unfair given the 70% = D and 80% = C but by my Sophmore year (15-16) they had changed it back to a fair 10pt grading system. 90% = A 80% = B And so on. Funding- The previous commenter was completely correct. The Gates Four community held highest priority for the school. They will pour funding galore into sports and other activities that the gated community encourages them to do. Jack Britt is manipulated by the rich and unwavering in their constant neglect for the educational requirements of the other 90% of their student population. Crime- The way they handle crime is unbelievable at this school. Their attempts at containing fights has never worked. At freshman orientation every year, they will maintain the same lie that a fight has not occurred since 2005. This is not true. In the three years I spent there I have witnessed multiple fights and heard of many more. Rules- Illogical. We can't stand during lunch unless we're walking around the cafeteria. We are not allowed to have our phones during passing period or lunch. The vending machines only work after school hours in which we are highly encouraged to leave immediately otherwise punishment will ensue. Dress Code- The dress code provides very little expression. Your shorts must go to your knees, your shoulders cannot show, and nothing you wear can be distracting to other students. I had a friend who's Hufflepuff jacket was confiscated because it "disturbed the learning environment". The dress code is also known for being biased based on gender and social class. Many boys would be allowed to wear shorts above the knees despite their female counterparts being forced to cover themselves. It was also observed that kids who appeared to be from Gates Four would be given lesser punishments and let off with warnings when pertaining to dress code. Gang Activity and Drug Paraphernalia- A lot of people are in gangs, and a lot of people do drugs. Not just weed, but the hard stuff. I know a guy who consumed cocaine regularly and shrooms occasionally. I also know people who have participated in gang activity including violent initiation tactics and the supplying of illegal substances and weapons. It often made me scared to interact with people at my school. I stayed away from a lot of people because of these things. Their are multiple examples of the dangers of gangs in this area. Just this year a kid got shot by simply being known as a rival gang member. Other years the McDonald's across the street has been shot up, similarly the mall, but that's just the area. I feel as though I could go on forever about the negative qualities of Jack Britt High School, but all in all I survived and I'm not traumatized. It just really sucked.

    Not the best or the worse high school, but I would say not the best one. I didn't like going there,…read morethey would expect way too much from you, the grading scale was too much, like a 80 would be considered as a C, and administration is too strict along with unethical rules and a policy that gives them a right to take your phone and keep it no matter what. I been in that school for 2 years, and I was ready to get out. Sides the fact that kids from gate 4 would go to that school, the school it self would be more concerned in funding in sports for their ratings than getting new education equipment like computers. And I forgot to mention they play this "School anthem" that's kinda annoying. Do your self a favor and find a better school who is focused on the main purpose in education than being obsessed being top rated in education and sports, so do yourself a favor and go to another school that has can actually let you get a good GPA, not a grading system that says 70 or below is a D, and not get your phone taken for a simple reason

    I cannot say enough good about First Impressions Academy and this awesome staff. My stepson has…read moreattended FIA for seven years, starting in preschool and is not in the 5th grade. I am fortunate enough to have transitioned my career and I now work with the most awesome people. Everyone cares for each other and it can be felt! My students are incredible, they are very smart and super kind. You will never find any bullying or any type of things that you may find at other schools. I highly recommend this school for your children. Ms. Christy, Ms. Teresa and Ms. Kelly are ALWAYS available for everything, I am very fortunate to be colleagues with them!

    This school is a joke. Inconsistent punishments are handed out regularly, rules only apply if…read moreyou're not a favorite. Teachers and office staff openly favor girls, borderline sexist against boys. Beta Club is mainly girls, even when qualified males get ignored. Zero male teachers and little diversity, zero role models for boys. Classrooms have exposed wires which is a real electrocution risk. Drunk/high people wander near the school. Hot lunch is barely edible slop, undercooked and gross. Janitor tries hard, but the place is still filthy, especially the male bathroom. Teachers often use AI-generated lessons they clearly don't understand, all while the school greedily pockets tuition for this mess. Save your money and your kids' sanity. Run the other way. Would give 0 stars if I could.
