Jefferson is really a part of our neighborhood and our community. The teachers all get involved in community service activities and join the kids at their 'extra-curricular, non-school related' events. It's been such an awesome, safe, loving/caring place for me to have my kids at for the past 4yrs. They would make such great use of this contribution.

Jefferson Elementary is a very family oriented school and supports the success of all students. The high parental involvement rate makes Jefferson feel like its own community. The time the principal takes to be involved in the classroom is admirable.

Jefferson is a great school because it is its own community. Everyone knows each other by name and interacts together. It has a tight knit group of people and teachers.

It's a wonderful community, with involved, loving parents and teachers. The school is one of two in Wauwatosa that has early childhood education classes for children with special needs. Jefferson's principal excels at what he does, leading the school and teaching tolerance, acceptance, and kindness with humor and warmth. We could not be happier with our experiences at Jefferson. My children LOVE going to school.

Jefferson creates a unique environment for the students and the parents. My child loves going to school and has for the past 5 years! She even goes to summer school because she loves learning. Beyond the great teachers and staff, I must comment on the music and arts. It brings all of us joy to see the children expressing themselves through art and music. Playing instruments, singing, doing plays and creating works of art has made them well-rounded chilren. This is a special place that fosters special children.

It's a small neighborhood school which i much prefer. The staff is always no nice and friendly. There isn't a time when I'm dropping off my kids that I don't see happy kids or smiling staff. The staff works really hard on making sure the kids get the best education they can. Mr Siedel is amazing! He is such a hands on, kind principle. Really there for parents and staff!
