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.

Jefferson Highschool has its ups and downs. There are some teachers that care about ur learning and teach really well. However there are some that are lazy and don't really teach. They would rather give independent work than actually get up and start a lesson with the class. Although because of the teachers that teach well I am able to use what Ive learned in their classes and apply them to others.

This school environment makes me feel like I have a family outside of my home that loves me and wants to help me to become the best possible version of me.
