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.

The teachers and students are amazing. The teachers really try to get to know each student in a personal level. Sometimes favoritism happens, but that happens anywhere.

At Thomas Jefferson Classical Academy you are going to be challenged. At a lot of high schools you're not going to have 7 different classes in a day and then have sports at the end of the day. Everyone who goes to Thomas Jefferson says that it did prepare them for college. The best parts of my experience were my afterschool sports. Everyday is a grind but at the end of everyday I'd be able to go to practice and work and have fun with my friends. The worst part of my experience is the amount of stress I have because of the massive work loads. The thing that I would like to see change is I'd like to see our other sports receive more funding. And maybe even get a couple of new ones.
