I have enjoyed my time here as a student at Jefferson High School. It is one of the best public schools in the region. I think we have excellent sports and extracurricular programs for all types of people and take pride in those activities. Though, I think the school could challenge us more in our academics.

I have been at Jefferson High School for about five years now. It's been the best adjustment ever. At first it was hard moving here, but the people helped me feel more comfortable. Jefferson is my home that I appreciate so very much.

I have been very lucky in my high school experience, but I would definitely like to see the favoritism in the school system change. The school is very focused on maintaining its ranks and test scores, and most of their attention and efforts go to those students who already are high achievers. Much less attention is devoted to average- and below-level students who need the most help.

I cannot say enough good about Jefferson City Schools! Both of my children were students K-12, graduating from JHS. They were involved in so many terrific classes and activities....Band was the main activity for both of them....concert band and marching band all through middle and high school! Great...

Best school in North Georgia by far. We moved here from Hall County 2 years ago and our daughter has increasingly impressive results every year. Strong work ethic, great teachers, fantastic facilities. The negative review from November is particularly laughable, almost all the teachers and people he...

Excellent . The staff and teachers are approachable . We are kept informed about and the teachers will work with you or answer any concerns you may have about your student's progress. There are many extra curricular activities for the interests of all students.

I moved my three kids 4th, 6th, 8th from one of Gwinnett county's best school systems. Jefferson City Schools has exceeded my expectations. The academics are better than brookwood and JCS offers more athletic and social activities. My three kids miss their friends but love the new schools.
