Located in Flowood, Mississippi, a suburb of Jackson, and specializing in secondary education since 1970, Jackson Preparatory School holds the state record with 461 National Merit Semifinalists, including 16 from the class of 2006. Prep currently offers the only Classical Heritage Program in the state. Prep offers courses in East Asian Studies and is one of four schools to be selected for a Cum Laude Society chapter. Students consistently win regional and national awards in language, literature, art, mathematics, science, music, and drama. The school is located on a 74 acre campus east of Jackson and is the largest independent secondary school in the state of Mississippi. Endowment: >$1,000,000. Total enrollment: 820. it is mostly all rich white brats with lawyers for parents
The Jackson Preparatory School faculty/staff is comprised of 85 people, including 43 (50%) who have earned post-graduate degrees. Most of the teachers are complete assholes and do not care too much about the student. They do not care if their class is known for bringing someone's overall GPA down; however, they take pride in this. Six faculty members hold Ph.D. degrees. The student/faculty ratio is 11:1.
In recent years, Prep students have earned many scholarships and awards including the Presidential Scholars Program Award, Principal’s Leadership Scholarship, Robert Byrd Scholarship, Intel Talent Search Scholarship, Discover Card Scholarship, National Merit Corporation Scholarship, Coca-Cola Scholarship, and numerous academic and leadership awards from individual colleges and universities. The Class of 2005 received scholarship offers totaling $7.6 million; 85 percent of the class accepted merit-based scholarships or grants, representing a value of $2.3 million. Preparatory teams routinely distinguish themselves in quiz bowl matches, math and science tournaments, literary contests, mock trial competitions, debate tournaments, and many other academic competitions. Jackson Preparatory School is also one of four schools in Mississippi to have a chapter of the Cum Laude Society, the high school equivalent of Phi Beta Kappa.
The student government association, debate team, student publications, service clubs, academic honorary societies, band, choir, drill team, cheerleading, visual arts classes and exhibits, drama and musical theater productions, and special-interest clubs are representative examples of the more than twenty-two co-curricular activities available to students.
Jackson Preparatory School is housed on a 74-acre campus. The Junior High and Senior High buildings each include academic classrooms and science labs. Each has a computer center with high-speed internet connections. Division administrators and counselors are located in both buildings, and the Senior High building houses a student publications center. At the heart of the campus is the 42,000 square-foot McRae Fine Arts and Media Center, which houses three art studios, a ceramics studio, band hall, choir room, and art gallery. The McRae Center is also home to the Jesse Howell Library, with holdings that include nearly 20,000 volumes, 60 periodical subscriptions, 16 desktop and 24 laptop computers, databases, and other services. The new Guyton Science Center houses six state-of-the-art science classrooms with laboratories and the Lyceum, a two-hundred-seat lecture/meeting facility.
The Fortenberry Auditorium and Gymnasium, along with the J.O. Manning Patriot Center, provide athletic venues, a performing arts complex, dressing rooms, weight rooms, coaches’ offices, and laundry facilities. Prep's outdoor athletic complex includes a lighted baseball field, a lighted football stadium with 400-meter track, a soccer field, a girls' fast-pitch softball field, eight wheelchair-accessible tennis courts, a cross-country course, and practice fields.
