This is my son's third year at this school. He was in the pre-K, then K, and now 1st grade.. We almost sent him to private school, but I am glad we gave this school a chance. He is so far having a great experience. He loves going to school and was reading by the end of kindergarten and doing basic math. He is in first grade and comes home and tells use about new things he learned every day and already he is working on math problems addition and subtraction first week in. There is daily communication with teacher via his agenda and they use online apps for additional communication. Meals and supplies were provided this year which help make things easy and less stressful for parents. The school also provides special ed services. They offered him speech therapy while he was in pre-K, before I even realized there was an issue. There are many community engagement events during the year and the school. He as two teachers in class and the class ratio is good. There is a focus on children demonstrating "pawsitive" behavior to improve their emotional intelligence as well

I began attending Jefferson High School in 2022 with hopes of growing academically, building friendships, and preparing for my future. Unfortunately, my experience was cut short in 2024 due to harassment, bullying, and institutional failure after I came forward about being sexually assaulted by a male student.When I bravely reported the assault to the principal, school staff, and the resource officer, I expected safety and support — but instead, I was met with silence and disbelief. No proper action was taken to address the situation or to ensure the safety of others. Instead of holding the perpetrator accountable or requiring him to get help, the school allowed him to remain on campus without consequence.After coming forward, I was harassed both in person and online — through Snapchat, Instagram, and even by strangers who called me a liar without knowing the full story. The emotional toll was devastating. I lost close friends and my support system, and the school made no effort to support my mental health or well-being during that time.In the end, I had no choice but to leave Jefferson High School and pursue my education through a GED program. While my time there ended painfully, my experience has only deepened my commitment to standing up for others who feel silenced. I know my truth, and I will continue to use my voice to advocate for those who deserve to be heard and protected.

Not a great experience. Big disparity with minority and special education students not getting the help or support they need.
