Jefferson West High School holds a lot of great memories for me. I was involved and loved every minute of it. However, I'd like to see our community better support our school. We had a lack of funding and it really limits a child's education when a school is not properly funded in its academics, sports, and arts.

The best part of Jefferson West is the small community that you experience. Everyone is very tight knit and invested in the school and community. The worst part of Jefferson West is the organization of the teachers. Most of the teachers are very organized but a few really struggle with that category. All of the teachers are very supportive and try to help you no matter what your situation is.

The teachers truly want what is best for their students and will work with them to make sure they are successful. The students are nice as well, it is a small town school so everybody knows everybody. However, I would like more extracurricular classes offered.
