This school has its up's and downs... I agree this school has teachers & staff that do not care about students learning and only care about the cash. Still their are teachers and do and a great teachers. The uniform policy i disagree. If we wore a uniform it would not match with the school color which is green & gold. Wheres the school spirit? This school has improved since 2005. Not many fights going on now a days and i call that an improvement from the past riots. All i would like is for the adults in school, no the district would allow for students to participate in debates on subjects about, like this new news about Jefferson become a charter school. apart from that this school is great

This school needs a lot of improvement. It needs courageous teachers and staff who actually care about the students learning and not just a paycheck.

Thomas jefferson is a wonderful school. I am unhappy with the ethnic break down of the school and the state scores but I think they can inprove this with time.

My sister attends to this school I think that the policy for uniforms is a great idea. There will be more respect not only between students but also in the teachers. this new policy will reform the school and put it back in shape in no time. this rule should be apply in every school startin from K-all the way to 12 so that students dont get out of control like they have been at this school that last couple of times.

With all the fighting these days and increased police patrolling, the school seems to be in dire need of facilitated dialogue beyond with the mayor- between students.

The Principal has done an exceptional job in the four years that he has been there.
