GreatSchools Rating
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.

During my time at Jefferson High School, I've gained life long friends and participated in many community services. Joining groups and associations provides me with social skills, problem solving abilities, etc. These skills not only look good for potential employers but also dispense me with mental capability.

I liked everything about Jefferson High School and I would like the that if you messed one class period you are absent the whole day even if you were at school except for that one period. I also would like the rule that you don't get credit for the day of school if you messed one class period at school even if you did the work you still don't get credit just because you missed one period that's not fair.

I liked going to school here because of the friends I made, but I hated that only the peoples children who had money would be listened to and all other complaints would be left out. Good people lost their job because they only took the words of others instead of actually trying to listen to people who cared about the programs.
