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.

Jefferson High School does not offer honor classes but has a decent selection of AP classes and CP classes/electives. The teachers are nice and considerate. Great wellness counselors, decent food, and provides a wide variety of clubs.

The best part of my experience at Jefferson High School is definitely the community. The school had a diverse student and staff population which makes it feel like everyone is accepted. Something that I'd like to see change is the schedule. On minimum days and finals days, there is a lot of confusion about the schedule from students and even teachers.
