Jeff high's ratings should be very low. The school caters to jocks, and sports more than to education. The poor teachers cannot hold control over the students in classes as it might step on someone's toes. Education is not the top thing. I am a grandparent of a junior, and graduated 2 children from

I do not enjoy attending Jeff High. I like my classes; that's not the problem. There are way too many kids at Jeff. It sounds rude, but I wish the majority of them would just drop out. You can tell that they don't care about their education anyay. The rules are also way too strict. I've told my parents

Also, the construction this year is really distracting. And the construction isn't improving much...it's not even going to touch the art wing. That seems a little unfair. All in all, it's alright, but I would definitely not want my kid going there. Read less

The school may be big, but if you student places themselves in the right classes and right enviroments they will be perfectly fine. This will prepare them for a college because Jeffersonville High School is very diverse. I was a student and graduated in 2008 and I am thankful I went there versus a

This school is way too big to be able to offer the minimum needs to all students. The drugs are abundant and the security is lacking. I would avoid my child attending this school if at all possible.

I graduated from Jeffersonville High and my son is now a senior as well. Although I feel the school is as safe as any other school in our area, all schools have their problems.But I do believe that the students walk around the school as if there is little discipline. As far as academics, I feel that

As far as the JROTC Program,I feel if the school is allowing this program to be a part of their school, start supporting it better! It's a good program whether or not our children ever go Military or not. If nothing else it shows them leadership and discipline. Nothing wrong with that. Read less
