3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageAwful. This school praises kids from mediocrity and does little to award actual accomplishment. I am glad that Covid-19 has allowed me to learn on my own for the most part for the second half of my junior year.Student Review6y ago - Jefferson Elementary School

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI've worked at this school for many years under several principals. The current principal is passionate about Jefferson, the staff, parents and especially the students. She IS a team player who wants what is in the best interest of the students and school as a whole. I tend to find those few persons who may dislike her, (as in the May 10, 2014 review) are most likely those who know deep down they don't measure up. Jefferson, as a whole, has not only a wonderful principal but extremely talented, dedicated and passionate staff members who deeply care about the students they serve - with the exception of a couple of sour apples with a personal ax to grind. I believe those sour apples will continue to grind the same ax no matter who the principal is.Teacher Review11y ago - Clinton Rosette Middle School
