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.

My experience at Jefferson has been very great. The ability to be welcomed and have the freedom and space to grow. Going to Jefferson installed a pride in myself and never once was I jealous and thought about a better school. The activities and the constant effort to figure out ways to involve students was very creative. As a basketball player, I felt very welcomed to enjoy other activities like the weekly yoga and chess classes.

It's a pretty good high school most of the staff want the students to try hard and succeed in class. Most of the coaching staff is devoted to their athletes. The sports programs are good even though they don't get a lot of support from the student body in terms of actually going to the events. In terms to of STEM classes they are better than most schools in my opinion. All in all not a Terrible school as long as you make it enjoyable for yourself
