I went to Jefferson Forest High School all 4 years and I love it. I met great people I feel that everyone there either knew each other or knew of one another. The teachers there are helpful some even holding tutoring before school to help the students oit a little bit more. My personal school consoler was very helpful with everything that I asked her. She helped me the a lot throughout my senior year whole preparing for college

all of my four years at jf were very enjoyable and I never once felt like I didn't belong or that I wasn't safe. my only complaint is that in my junior year I got hurt in the mouth and knocked out my front two teeth and the schools insurance never reached out to me at all

Jefferson Forest provides a lot of opportunities for students. There is a broad selection of clubs and extracurriculars. Personally, it's been really fun to join new clubs because I've gotten to know new people and explore some of my interests and hobbies. The teachers here are all very willing to help. However, I do feel that some of the curriculum is not fully developed and certain teachers do not put very much effort into their lesson plans.

I am a current student at this school. The school handles educations very well. The math department is amazing, and so is the English department. The Science department is mediocre but the math more than makes up for it. I would say that the number of Advanced classes JF offers is really good. The s...

Each student typically thinks differently. The school had some issues with Confederate flags and girl fights, but the faculty resolved those issues. Decent food, usually funny teachers, and a great theatre program. Very organized layout and a nice little library. Vending machines in the hallways and...
