Both of my children go to Jefferson and we find it to be an awesome school. The teachers really take the time to get to know their students and even make time for them after they have moved onto the next grade. My son has some attention and focus issues and his teacher this year (3rd grade) has been amazing with him. Working on all different ways to help him get organized and focused. We are looking to move and hoping that no matter where we go we can keep our kids in this school.

"The area seems to be gathering more families, but has a lot of rentals with frequent turnover. Quick walk to downtown and to many area parks, love the closeness to all the great things going on downtown Appleton."

"The dog owners would like the near by Parks and the river as well. Many birds like geese they wouldn't like them as much and small to no backyards for the dogs to run and play. Many children live all throughout this area as well. "
