9/7/2025
The academics at Jefferson are not great. A lot of the teachers dont care (and a good portion of them are just long term subs without an education degree). Multiple teachers in my 4 years were also fired for pedophilia. The music department at Jefferson is great. Marching band was a life savor when it came to meeting people and honing a skill. The band director was one of the only teachers in the school (that I was aware of) to express an interest in the wellbeing of his students.

The teachers have lost their motivation to teach. Most, not all, seem like they have no desire to be there.

Jefferson High Schools administration is nowhere near where it should be and the level in which the teachers are held is very low. The discipline is nonexistent and kids get away with lots of things that should not.

I have two kids that currently attend JHS. The school has quite a few problems, kids smoke/vape in the bathrooms all day and nobody does anything about it, teachers allow horrible profanity, there are mice in some parts of the school, the D wing stinks of sewage when it rains, the secondary gym is o...

It was pretty good, I enjoyed the teachers but some of them gave too much homework.
