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

i have some teachers that are easy going but teach what their supposed to and make it fun for alot of students but their are alot of students that dont pay attention in those classes and make it hard for the teachers to teach the right way, but they wouldn`t throw them out. But their are some teachers that teach the bare minimum and make it hard to learn and i have to go online or look to my brother or friends for help with how to do certain things in those subjects

Food is nasty and leaves you hungry for the rest of the day. Always non-health conscience foods. Poor preparation and no snacks. Like prison food, but worst.

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!
