Jefferson-Houston PreK-8 IB is an award-winning school located on the west side of Alexandria's Old Town. It is an International Baccalaureate World School using an inquiry-based and student-centered teaching approach. Jefferson-Houston PreK-8 IB is also an Advancement Via Individual Determination, or AVID, school, using a support program to prepare students for college. The school also has educational opportunities for talented and gifted children. Special education students and English language learners also have programs to align with their individual needs. As a Jefferson-Houston Jaguar, children will learn lessons beyond what is covered in a textbook. Students can participate in an array of programs such as book buddies, environmental club and Student Government Association. The school hosts numerous events throughout the year, including a Winter Concert consisting of the school's orchestra, band, and chorus. There is also the Hour of Code event, a national program that empowers students to learn about computer science. Teachers encourage and recognize those who are respectful, responsible, safe, and exhibit their personal best. Every month there is a special event to honor the students who have demonstrated the four positive behavioral interventions and supports, known as PBIS, expectations.

The facilities are extremely nice and the teachers are nice. Though, I feel the teachers could be a little better at classroom management and ability to teach tough students.

We moved from Orange County in California and we are overwhelmingly pleased with Jefferson Houston. We see our children thriving. The principal knows and greets all students by their first name!

Not an academically competitive school at all. Our bar is set high for our child. We sold our big home and relocated to a smaller home in a different city and never looked back. The sacrifice all worth it.
