GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Well basically my experience with a Jefferson was poor the school was poorly qualified at the time that I attended the school and it had poor qualified teachers the math department was horrid as well as there was bullying that went on there and which I got subjected to it's basically a poor academic African-American school with low-income African-American students particularly in the 70s and 80s I can see that there's been some improvement but not much there was drugs and prostitution that went on there some of the boys in my class were pimps drug abusers and Drug sellers I personally did not like it former 1981 graduate of Jefferson High School

Jefferson always has a police officer in the school encase of an emergency. The school nurse office is always open. The staff make sure that there students are civil to each other. No bullying policy.

Do not send your child to this school!! We moved to the country to get away and live a quiet life. But we are stuck to this school! Not funded! The elementary does not have a library! Come on! If moving to the area stay out of Jefferson Township!
