I absolutely LOVE this school! We were rezoned and moved to get back to this school based on our experiences at a neighboring school within the district. Being in a different school briefly made us all the more thankful for how unique and wonderful Thomas Jefferson is. Very active PTO that does a lot for improving the school, very responsive leadership, wonderful seasoned teachers. We've been here since 2014, have had 9 teachers during that time and I have nothing bad to say!

We moved from a small private school in another town. All staff were so welcoming and my 2nd grader loved it! His teacher is amazing.

The staff at this school teaches students how to be reflective of their words, and actions. They encourage and expect students to participate in their own learning and hold students accountable for setting personal goals.

I was a teacher at Thomas Jefferson for several years. The staff is fantastic, they work together so well and have a very community oriented attitude regarding success for all students. I have never worked with such a dedicated, thoughtful, and passionate group of educators. I will be sending my children to TJ when they are old enough. It's a great school with a lot of wonderful learning taking place.

My children had moved from school to school. This was their 5th school in an average of 4 years. We arrived right before the Holidays. It was the best school they'd ever been in. From the front office to the teachers and even the students it was the most welcoming, down to earth, amazing environment. Communication was impeccable. Little to No homework, as home time is family time. That was something I was not used to. My children both excelled! They do so much for the students. I LOVE THIS SCHOOL!!

When I found out that my son was being moved to TJES from Centerton Gamble, I was worried that he might not handle the transition well. However, this turned out to be a non-issue. My son has flourished here. His teacher, Mr. Engle, sees the good in each and every child. He saw past some of my son's learning challenges, and identified strengths that he could appreciate and appeal to. The staff at the school and is caring a supportive always. It is bittersweet leaving this school for middle school, but rest assured that your child is in good hands!
