- I attended this school from 2002 until 2006 and I must say, it was a wonderful experience. I had a few disappointments, but by and large, I really enjoyed the majority of my teachers and the student body. I a multitude of outstanding teachers who strongly influenced my decision to go to college and eventually become a high school teacher.

(4 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - I attended Jordan High school from 2002 to 2006 and my experience there was great! I loved the classes that i took and the environment was well, a typical high school experience i suppose. I had some exceptional teachers and some not so exceptional ones; so goes every students experience.

(3 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - I attended this school when it was ranked in the top 100 schools in the United States. It was the best high school to attend for diversity and academics. Now if you walk through the halls, you are faced with dealers and half naked teens. I can honestly say i'm upset that Jordan has lowered it's standards so much to the point that they are letting just anyone in. What happened to your pride? I used to say I was proud to be a Falcon, now, i'm embarrassed to say I went to school there. People associate Jordan not by the academics or the variety of classes, but by the violence associated with the students they allow to attend.
