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.

The best parts of my high school experience at Jefferson high school was the art classes. The worst part was the other students being hateful and the teachers not doing much to give them consequences.

The best part of high school was playing sports, and some of the elective classes that were offered. The worst experience would be the lack of diversity. A change I would like to see is more diversity among staff and students.

The best part about Jefferson high school was the FFA program. The teacher was very involved in the success of the student with competitions and field trips where we got to learn so much about certain animals and farm lifestyles. The worst part was the school board. It felt like they could have done so much more to make our school successful and they could have supported our teacher more.

I think my child and the others in her graduating class were given the highest of personal values and the best attention from the teachers and staff that I could hope for. The community of volunteers was also very supportive.
