Jim Hill High School has the first and currently the only ternational Baccalaureate World School in Mississippi. The school is 99% African-American and 100% scholarly. As a parent and college educator, I found the education that my child received to be globally competitive and well prepared my child for an Ivy League college experience. One of the Chemistry teachers has been awarded three U.S. Patents, in addition to numerous awards for his approach to teaching the subject. Many of the teachers are participants in the Miss. Teachers' Corps which sends highly educated teachers to the classrooms at Jim Hill. Students are treated with respect and the expectations of the students are academically challenging. The Concert Choir is world-renowned, having performed at Carnegie Hall, in London, Venice, the Bahamas and Paris.
Pros: Academic challenge, students treated with respect, high expectations.
Cons: Traffic, student parking lot
