GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. 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.

Some things I love about Jefferson is the connections we make with teacher it's such a closely knit bond between staff and students. One thing that has helped me for college readiness is probably having dual enrollment class all throughout my highschool careers.i hope the narrative changes for Jefferson ,I hope for the future we're not known as the "Ghetto"school anymore.

I mean it's a really nice school. There is just a lot that seems to happen, some teachers do the bare minimum while others go above and beyond. I would say this school is like any other average high school.
