I have been at Thomas Jefferson for about five years and graduated from there recently. Overall I'd say the school is extremely helpful for not only future college success but also its community. It's smaller so the teacher and other kids know you and after leaving for college I can honestly say I feel prepared for higher level classes.

While small and with limited resources pertaining to sports and extracurriculars, the education that can be received is one of the best. If you put in the work, you'll be more than prepared for college. The teachers care about you, want to work with you to help you succeed. The counselor is fantastic as well; she'll do everything she can to help you either get to college, graduate, or just get to the next day.

This school is great if your child doesn't have any learning challenges. My two oldest children have thrived for years at TJ. But my youngest son is dyslexic. Lack of leadership on the principal's level and teachers who care to place blame on parents are driving us away from this school. It's unfort...

Thomas Jefferson Charter School is a diamond in the rough. I have learned so many priceless lessons and concepts at this school that I never would have learned anywhere else. Some may criticize the principal, for reasons unjustified, as the principal (not principle) is not the only one responsible f...
