Jefferson is an unbelievable school, with a very high standard of education. I have been thoroughly impressed with its rigor, as I transferred here a few years ago from a much bigger school system. I am very proud that my children will be attending school here!
This new school still seems to be dealing with growing pains. Many of the parent reviews from JES would equally match for this school. Military style definitely applies here. JA is the only school (out of 4) in the city system that requires a school uniform. Not a dress code guideline, but a uniform. Some of the staff is great, and some don't really seem to like their job so much. Parent involvement is so important, but not all teachers seem to encourage that here. The school counselor is great, as are a handful of teachers that show all the students that they care. Not just their fav's. A lot of kids certainly get away with stuff because they're the favorite, or because they're the child of another staff member. It's a small town. So if you're not a local, then you're definitely an outsider. Good academics, but needs more fun.
