Niche grades and rankings are calculated using dozens of public data sets and millions of reviews.

Every month, millions of students and families use the Niche grades and report cards to find the right school or neighborhood.
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.

Thomas jefferson is a big high school, it has a lot of history behind it, but much of it isn't shown most of the time which surprises me. The teachers can be very helping or somewhere in between. The food is okay, could be better.

The staff and administration make sure that you are do everything that you need to do in order to graduate. However, their food isn't always good(unless you like eating pizza every day I do not recommend), the bathrooms are always locked at a certain time, and the number of fights that happen at this school is insane. At least the IB classes are a good GPA boost. Also, the school store is open every Tuesday and Thursday and everything costs $1 so it's not like you're going to go broke. It's a good school overall, but the students in it and the fact that the school is very old does not help.

Overall throughout the hears of being at Thomas Jefferson I enjoyed myself at times. It is difficult sometimes to get things done unless you are overally focused. People fail & also become successful at this school it's about how much work and effort you put in to chase your dreams.
The community here is incredible. TJ is an amazing school. There are problems to be addressed, sure, but if a student needs something, they will get it. If a parent needs something, they will get it. Scores do not communicate the entire story of a school and should be reviewed VERY carefully.

Even though we all new this was the hotspot, our principal never came to the cafe! Our school was totally out of control this year. Many staff including myself...
