A Y Jackson Secondary School

There are some teachers who are really good, but there are also others who are terrible. I encountered in particular a math teacher who just give you your work and make you do it without any lessons. This was grade 10 math. It is because I've encounter good teachers prior to that bad teacher that I've not giving this place a one star review.

oh god where do i began. it all started 2 months ago. i was walking down the music halls when someone screamed i have a boogie bomb. he then threw a live grenade breaking my legs and permanently crippling me. i havent been the same since. i got ragefull. other than that its a great school. loved it.

Very good teachers, decent lunch food, and easy to find classrooms. My only complaint is about the sketchy students who smoke weed near the school during lunch and sometimes carry knives.

Is a great school, I have known a lot of people and they are very nice to international students like me. Strongly recommend!

It was a very good school, I had to go virtually in my grade 9 class and everything went fairly smoothly.Though when I went into grade 10 everything went downhill.As a virtual student I do not feel included at all. The teachers always keep on ignoring the virtual class in favor of only assisting the in person kids.There were a couple of instances were teachers wouldn't even try to connect with the virtual class! They would not provide any meeting links or assign any work.The guidance counselors also completely ignore the students, nobody really cares for you unless either your guardian calls in or you go in-person.I really hope that the school makes adjustments for the virtual learners because it's just absurd at this point.- Student at AY Jackson Secondary School

The school is 98% semi westernized (<5yrs in Canada) Asian youngsters. I say youngsters because there's no way to tell their age...you'll be hard-pressed to distinguish between a 23yr old recent immigrant plucked and placed into grade 11 and another grade 11 student that has been fed to A.Y by a local junior high.These youngsters are the ones taking up parking space with each of them having a car or their own because they convinced their upper middle class father back home that one cannot get ahead (forget surviving) without oneI know they say multiculturalism is a ‘Feature’, but I’d argue that one dominant language and culture mixed with a small numbers of others, does NOT a multicultural school make. Just because that dominant race/culture happens to not be white doesn’t make it anymore friendlier or welcoming than had it been an all white school (which I’m sure it was 18yrs+ ago)

This school would be decent if the guidance counselors actually cared about the students and if the smell of weed weren't in every one of those nasty, never cleaned washrooms.

my sis also go here and she stoopid

Although I have never been at this school, I still think it is a great school (grade 9-12) as I visited it many times. The teachers all seem nice and helpful and most of the students are good. A Y Jackson SS has a wonderful music program with limitless possibilities. It also has a big double gym, a huge cafeteria/stage and a 25m swimming pool. It also have a soccer field with tracks around it. I also like the spiral staircase close to the entrance.
