I think Jefferson should have negative stars.My son attended4 years and It was the most horrible experience.K-1 and 1st were good only because they had great teachers but 2nd and higher the teachers have no patience.Anytime I or my 2 sisters had problems with our children we would go to the Principal she would say let me see what I can do,but the problem ALWAYS continues.Teachers have had police called on them which the parents were never notified.The adults would talk to the kids anyway they wanted and more then one kid would be saying so. So if you think this is a good school it maybe your child keeps quiet like a very high percentage of the kids do, and Jefferson loves when parents are quiet so they don't have to explain.They don't have anti bulling.If any kids tells their considered tattling and they will be punished which is ridiculous. I cant send my kids anywhere the teachers talk to them any way and make them cry it makes me very uncomfortable as a parent.If there's any issues with children it should be talked over with the parents.Also the lunch lady has said very mean things to my son but once i found out she doesn't recall,sure!This is the only school no ones allowed in

Not at all happy with this school. Jefferson had a different out look, as long as it looks good on paper. They educate the kids on the ISAT only and I feel my child needs more.All they want is their test to have good scores but that's only because that's what they do all year long.The teachers are very disrespectful only if you call them out on mistakes. I only wish I knew about these reviews before I put my child in this school. Well we live and learn.

My daughter attended Jefferson for 5 yrs and the principal didn't show she cared nor wanted to do much extra for the kids. She wouldn't take problems seriously and solve them.
