My kids attend Jefferson Heights. It is a wonderful school. The teachers are always helpful, and direct attention to getting help to the students who are falling behind. My youngest is very shy. The staff, all of them, not just his teacher and counselor, went out of their way to help him. Now he talks all the time and is not shy about answering questions. They have no tolerance for bullying. The bus drivers are very kind as well.

I have had nothing but a joyious experience with this school and all the staff. I personally feel that Mr Walsh's leadership and all the staff's unity stirs a spirit of teamwork, community, fairness and education, that many school long to have in their school system. My children as well as all the students are encouraged to never give up, to always know they are a leader, and be aware that they make a difference. As a parent, I am very impressed and extremely proud. No school system is perfect but Jefferson Heights certainly has enhanced the positive.
