Well basically my experience with a Jefferson was poor the school was poorly qualified at the time that I attended the school and it had poor qualified teachers the math department was horrid as well as there was bullying that went on there and which I got subjected to it's basically a poor academic African-American school with low-income African-American students particularly in the 70s and 80s I can see that there's been some improvement but not much there was drugs and prostitution that went on there some of the boys in my class were pimps drug abusers and Drug sellers I personally did not like it former 1981 graduate of Jefferson High School

All of the teachers are involved with the student's and activities. The teacher's support our teams on game days. Most of the teachers keep the students interest's on the topic they are teaching that day.

Do not send your child to this school!! We moved to the country to get away and live a quiet life. But we are stuck to this school! Not funded! The elementary does not have a library! Come on! If moving to the area stay out of Jefferson Township!
