The principal is the worst. Every time my daughter was harassed. It was her fault. We fell for her lies for months. Then we find out that they withheld certain information from us. Then when we decided to move a her to a different school. She tells us that it can't be done and that we were being childish. Within the month we got my daughter out of that school. Then the same principal decides to give us the silent treatment. Sounds pretty childish to me. My daughter has improved in her new school. She enjoys it. She is happy and is learning much more then cleveland elementary could ever teach her.

People say this school is bad the worst they even call you parents if you don't get your iready minutes.

Just had a student graduate from Jefferson. It's a great school. "GreatSchools.org" fails miserably at properly measuring the impact on their metrics when you have a school with a diverse set of students and needs, including Jefferson's amazing support of students with disabilities.The teachers at Jefferson truly care about your student when they show an interest in being at school, learning and participating. Jefferson excels at fine arts (wonderful new Band directors starting this year, and two fantastic choral directors as well as a solid theater department). Jefferson has also won the state academic decathlon 23 years straight and won the nationals in 2022 - following up in a higher division in 2023 with a 6th place finish. Several recent grads have earned full-ride scholarships to prestigious colleges around the country. Ignore the rating, it's bogus. Jefferson is a great school with great students, faculty and staff.
