Overall the school provided me with an excellent high school experience with new friends that helped shaped who I am today. The school also offers a variety of learning opportunities and classes that support you for your future in college. The teachers and faculty members are also really positive and are there for you if needed.

I love how I met so many new people even people who aren't in my senior class in all of my classes. Many people of different races are all represented and cared for. Teachers strive for the best in their students while trying to maintain a fun and healthy school environment. Though our athletics aren't great, people still have fun with them and watching them. In all, I think Jeff is a good school, its pretty safe, and a good environment for school life.

Thomas Jefferson High School has been my best experience ever. It grounded and kept me within my boundaries, pushing me to pass my limits. I could not be more grateful for the experience. My parents or anyone older than in my family have never been in college, so when I needed help no one close to me could help. But the teachers and staff stayed close. They ensured I got my work done and helped me when needed.

"GreatSchools.org" fails miserably at properly measuring the impact on their metrics when you have a school with a diverse set of students and needs, including Jefferson's amazing support of students with disabilities.The teachers at J...

They need better teachers. Some teachers miss a lot of work days causing students not to learn at their fullest.
