School Reviews
2 10/10/2025
Extremely disorganized. Principal is much too young and never available. I was not very welcomed in the school but kept my child there because a friend give a good recommendation. Although my child did learn a lot the teacher was amazing but the amount of homework was absurd and the staff seemed unhappy and overworked. I love my child's teacher but I did not like JCGCS
4 10/10/2025
JCGCS is a 5-star school in my opinion. It offers all students opportunities to embrace leadership and knowledge. I am currently an 8th-grade student, ready to graduate and I know for sure I will miss this school! They allow all types of help and support! 10/10
