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 do not believe that there are any extracurricular activities at my school and if so they are not popular. There is a newspaper club and that is about it. No one really cares about the clubs because they get very far with them.

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!
