The best high school in Durham. The students take their work serious and we havent had any problems. Hillside, on the other hand, is horrible. They dont care for academic and all they care is about party. Jordan is the perfect school if you want your child to get a real education

Jordan High School is perfect for someone who doesnt want to learn and is unphased by stupid people and stupid policies. If you actually care about your childs future and emotional stability, you should not send them here. The only reason the school has the best test scores in Durham is because Jordan is full of rich kids who have private tutors. The only reason our graduation rate is as high as it is is because there are plenty of classes where work isnt required. The only reason I can type with somewhat acceptable spelling and punctuation is because I acquired these skills before I came to Jordan High School. The office staff is rude and unhelpful. The administration tries really hard, but they try to fix the things that dont matter. For example, they spend a lot of time and energy making sure students dont take all three lunches instead of focusing on making the classes worthwhile to stay in. Honestly, they should be glad students leave the school, because if theres less students in the building, less of them will be crushed by the roof when it falls in, or poisoned by inhaling asbestos. The school looks like a concentration camp, and the students are treated like inmates. The main goal of the administration seems to be to keep students alive for seven hours and then send them home, while keeping up their gilded image by retaining naturally smart students and wasting money on ridiculous accouterments that make the school look more cheerful such as blue paint and neon signs in the lobby. The principal would not pass an elementary school level grammar test, and disregards most complaints that are sent his way. Many of the teachers are horrible as well. Some of them cannot seem to figure out how to explain new things to someone who knows it, some of them just give up on teaching and show movies, some of them assign work but never grade it or give feedback, and some of them are just plain stupid and do not have an ounce of logic in their knowledge-deprived brains.If you read this review and you still send your child to Jordan, I suggest you give them up for adoption; maybe then they can find a family that loves them. If you are a student who is unlucky enough to have to go there, avoid the following teachers at all costs. They will make your four year sentence a living hell.CombsDeytonC. JonesPuenteSmithVerdoneNote: There are other teachers that some students dont like at the school, but these are the ones that will frustrate you to your core, and possibly be a detriment to your education.

Class of 2005 best school in Durham, even though it has to deal with a bunch of kids that don’t care about their future.

Very unorganized and in need of more funding, but then again most all public education in North Carolina does.
