My experience at Jefferson High School has been mostly positive, the teachers are mostly great, and the academics are pretty good. I wish there was more prep for college is all.

Mid school, mid curriculum, Midwest. However, I am tinged with nostalgia every time I hear of my old Alma Mater. Take that how you will.

I transferred into Jefferson as a Senior. Everyone has been so welcoming and kind and they have made the transition so easy.
