Jefferson Elementary School-Gallup New Mexico. I have been a substitute teacher here before. I'd noticed that staff act professionally, team player, cared with the children and have friendly atmospher. I have also visited many times with the previous counselor and observe her activities as a school counselor it's very empressive. I was very empress to know that she organized a lot of activities of the student. So I rate the school seven stars out of ten stars.
