As a seventh grader at this school it is ok the teachers don't really care about you and they are no able for after school help. Some of the teachers don't get up from out of their desks and just tell us what to do or how many movie notes their are to take. And the lunch lines are so crowed. I kinda feel that the teachers don't care about us at all I have had a 4.0 all year long and I don't feel like the school cares. And their is so much extra credit available that you can not do any work and pass the class. There is sbo's ( student body officiers) at the school. But I don't feel there is enough after school clubs to be in. But don't kid me wrong there is plenty of things that are good like the lunch that is really good!
As a former student I can tell parents flat out what the school is like. The school had a few pros but many cons. A lot of the teachers were fabulous, and they tried their best. Some of them even changed my life, but it seemed that for the most part the teachers were just there doing time. The building is dark, old, run down, and highly overcrwoded. Very little space in the hallways. The school has a very bad reputation. The kids at that school are really mean and wild beyond what is normal because the faculty and staff has no control over it's students. Sometimes the faculty consists of disgruntled teachers taking it out on the kids (no joke). At the same time they were very poor in disciplining their students. My mother and I were not satisfied with my experience.
Joel P. Jensen has an awesome faculty. Unfortunately the district power school program that is used to communicate with parents and to track grades has changed ownership. The new software they are using has made powerschool unreliable. So if you are a parent that only communicates by E-Mail and your not hearing anything back from teachers, theres a good possibility that they aren't getting your E-Mails. Please call the school and leave a message for your child's teacher. They will return your call at the earliest possible time. I have been associated with this school for ten years and can guarantee that it has a faculty that cares about students and their success.
