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.

My daughter was a student at Jefferson School since kindergarten. She graduated with high honors and was accepted into one of the Bergen county academies. She had amazing teachers and an amazing counselor. The school is trying to do what they can to approve facilities and academics.
