Jefferson Elementary School

Jefferson Elementary principal, teachers, and staff do whatever it takes to ensure that students learn the academic and social skills they need to be successful. Each day begins with a Morning Meeting that sets children up for a great day. This school is staffed by a group of dedicated professionals.

Jefferson Principal and teachers are excellent. All students are supported and their extended kindergarten program helped my student get on track for success in first grade.

The staff, teachers, and principal at Jefferson are excellent. The sense of community is really powerful. All students set learning goals and students are recognized during assemblies for reaching their goals.

The administration and teachers are very good to work with and have gone out of their way to make my three children feel welcome and accepted despite hardship in our family. KLP

Jefferson elementary has a very poor attitude about teaching kids. I have found their teachers to be somewhat lazy, relying heavily on their assistants, and often failing to 'go the extra mile'. They are lacksadaisaical about teaching anything until right before the IRI's, then frenetically try to catch up with what they should have been doing all year. Discipline swings wildly from almost neglectful to severe. Not a good school. We are selling our house to try to get away from it.

Bad Principle to judgmental of kids. Is not easy to work with at all. Doesn't listen. Transfered my children but teachers are pretty good.

This school has one of the best principals I've ever met and the teachers are good too. But there is a lot of bullying in this school. Some very rough kids.

All six of my children have attended Jefferson Elementary. I have been very impressed with everything associated with this school (except their hot lunches!).
