I am a student currently at Jarrell and to be Frank last year was so great like it was amazing but this year the school changed everything that made me happy to go to school and when a student is unmotivated they feel not as a student but as a prisoner and what prisoners do is revolt last year during lunch you were allowed to walk around and socialize with your friends but now all I can't wait to do is wait till school ends because I want to leave Jarrell is not a healthy place to learn and if you care about your kids mental health move to Georgetown or just don't move here at all don't move to Jarrell there is nothing to do they are trying to be a big school but won't treat their students like like people who have freedom the staff is constantly breathing down our throats and act like were perfect but we're human I have classes from the 200 half to the 900 hall and I have 4 minutes to make it in very packed halls and if we get 3 tardies then we get a referral when Most of our classes are on the other side of the school we have 4 lunches a lunch is breakfast basically and d lunch Is the very end of school most of the teacher are nice people and I don't blame them and honestly I blame the staff we're all country we ain't no city people if they want us to be city then copy east view at least they know what they're doing

I'm the parent of a 14-year-old student at Jarrell High School. Well, on Monday, I got a call not from school, but from a social worker at a hospital in Temple, almost 30 minutes away stating my child had been transported to the hospital as a minor, without the presence of a legal guardian. I was not only caught by surprise but also terrified because no one from school had told me that my child would be going to the hospital.

There are hospitals within 10 minutes of the high school, but my child was taken outside the district and even outside Williamson County. No one from the school contacted me before or during this emergency, and that alone is unacceptable.

The incident began when another student had been bullying my child, posting videos, calling them names, like "gay" and other slurs. Out of frustration, my child did swing toward the other student but did not make contact, something confirmed by the school's own video footage. Yet, this did not stop the school's enforcement officer from alleging there was an assault when there was zero evidence and then going on to arrest my child.

In that arrest, my 100-pound child was handled in such an aggressive manner that he sustained a concussion and injuries to his back. The doctors at the hospital confirmed these were injuries consistent with a physical assault. My child wasnt violent; my child was terrified. He simply tried to back away from the officer out of fear.

I am deeply disappointed and angry how Jarrell High School handled the situation: failing to notify me, sending my child out of the county without consent, and letting an officer use excessive force on a minor. No parent should ever find out through a hospital that their child has been hurt in this way.

This whole experience has shaken my trust in the school's capability to keep students safe or communicate serious incidents with the family.

Overall, bad ! They have no organization. The teachers don't help struggling students. Kids vape every where and no one does anything. I could go on and on . But don't move to Jarrell and definitely don't choose Jarrell schools

They just assume everyone is a bully . Some kids instigate and then when a kid is mean . They call bully. They school doesn't do any research on the matter
