GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I was not happy at all with the overall experience of Jefferson Academy Elementary at all. Untrained staff and teachers.

This school really prides itself in preparing students for life beyond high school. They offer supplement classes through Front Range Community College and other colleges for more advanced students. The teachers always challenge students to excel beyond the normal high school student. It is just so small that some of these efforts are merely a work in progress.

Many teachers are unqualified and "on the job" trained (in house, so they are learning the exact same behaviors and techniques already used in the school). Many of the teaching and disciplinary met...

And the test scores they do get, come at a cost: homework/stress/homework/stress.Here's what you see happening inside the school:*Stres...
