A very poor choice for a school. Counselors and staff often gossip about their students within earshot. Disabled students struggle to have their IEPs met. Especially from honors and AP classes. Teachers directly tell their students they are bothersome. School does not handle bullying nor sexual harassment whatsoever, instead keeping students in the counseling center as opposed to disciplining bullies. The gifted students are given incredible amounts of work and are graded harsher than any college course I have taken. This school did not prepare me for college, instead instilling a fear I had to unlearn. This school encourages perfection in academics and does not accept making mistakes. Close Quote

The kids come home with to much drama, not enough in class teaching, and are expected to lear =n the stuff with doing work sheets, that show nothing of the steps involved in solving the problems. My little girl comes home every day in a bad mood, due to other children picking on her. My son comes home feeling like he is overwhelmed with trying to stay in the supposedly cool with the other kids, that think they are the best in the world because they bring drugs or other contraband to school. They need metal detectors on all of the entry ways, as well, as actual class lessons, instead of paperwork lessons.
I know our children are not the brightest these days, but it would help a bit if they were not treated like infants at school. Close Quote

simply the best school i could ever attend. i absolutely love my school. my peers are great, my teachers are fantastic. i also would like to add that everyone in the school gets along. it seems like all my friends that i talk to from other schools talk about the "clicks" that they have, but at Jack Britt there is no such thing. we all get along, we all support each other,and we all love each other. we have the best scores in the county and the very top in the state. our sports are the best considering our football team is the top in the state! we're not your typical high school. the teachers have great relationships with the students and push you to do your best and all the peers encourage you. we're just one giant family. it's GREAT to be a BUCCANEER!

We moved here to Fayetteville as a military family with reservations about the Cumberland County School District; however, after many hours of research, we decided to move to the Jack Britt school district. We have nothing but good things to say about Jack Britt High School. The teachers my children have had have been very attentive to the students' needs and have been there to assist whenever needed. The staff works very hard to assist students and will stay after school for tutoring, if necessary. The administration takes their jobs very seriously and are intent on keeping JBHS a safe school environment for the students. The extra curricular activities (band, sports, etc) are well supported by the student body, staff, faculty and community. I would definitely select this school again and would definitely recommend JBHS to anyone moving to the Fayetteville/Ft. Bragg area. Close Quote
