Jefferson Middle School

I traveled often with a large corporation. I had the opportunity to send my children to many schools and this school is the worst. I haven't even met the principle Carol McCloy yet. My daughter has been bullied just about everyday she has attended school. I have her report cards from all of her previous schools and her grades were A's and A+ durning those years. Her first report card from Jefferson she got all C-'s. Mr Luna please take note of this because this is a direct reflection on you. The Principle, Vice Principle close theirs eyes to everything that happens in the school. Like the teachers they come in everyday to collect a pay check. Mr. Luna open your eyes before you lose your job. There are a lot of great teachers out there just waiting for a chance to teach a child and give them an excellent education.

This school has a few superior teachers, ones who want the most from a student. Who ask for respect and keep the standards high. My child excels in school and wants a challenge, she was challenged more at Wilson and some of what she has been taught in middle school is what she learned in Elementary. I truly wish the school guidelines were followed closely and parents utilized more, in hopes to support the teachers and allow them to teach at a higher level.

Coming from a school that I now feel was superb this school is low on my rating list. It has very low test scores. Very high poverty level in the school. The prominent language used is not english but spanish. There are gang problems at this school. Racial problems as well. A very small school. I sometimes feel that the teachers are just trying to keep them busy, and not really teaching them. Lots of just 'busy work'. I never hear anything from the school. Thier comunication with me in 0. Never any papers sent home and definatly no phone calls.

This school is ok but the principal and teachers should do alittle more when kids get in trouble or when a student is getting bullied.
