[2] In their junior year, students are required by Jackson Public Schools to take the MME and the ACT.

After Jackson High School received a $27 million renovation (one that also restored the building after many years of neglect due to budget constraints), a science wing was built.

Sports offered for both boys and girls are: basketball, bowling, cross country, golf, soccer, swimming, track, and tennis.

In addition Jackson High also offers boys' baseball, football, hockey, and wrestling, and girls' cheerleading, softball, and volleyball.

The track at Withington Community Stadium and Dungy Field has a nine lane four hundred meter surface made of a combination of rubber and polyurethane.

Withington Stadium holds ten thousand people, and hosts MHSAA football playoffs, along with the Midwest Meet of Champions.

Jackson High also has a six lane twenty five yard length pool, a fitness center, and a second gymnasium.
