I think that Jefferson High School needs to have more involved teachers for certain subjects. Many teachers seem uninspired or do not adjust their teaching for th ebetterment of their students.

My experience at Jefferson High School hasn't been the best, not only because I had two years during COVID but because there was always construction around the school. There's great people at Jeff but there's always changes with administration and staff which means that there's always been new rules every single year.

A school that is overlooked but has great benefits for students. For example, the difference learning techniques and programs.
