I went to the school from Freshman year through Senior year. Overall the school wasn’t horrible. There are a good amount of teachers at this school who truly care. I felt like the entire time I was at this school, I spoke or saw my guidance counselor maybe 3 times. I feel like with any high-school there is bullying, I noticed it almost everyday. The teachers did not stop kids, or stand up for others. Getting involved with extra curricular activities really made me continue going to school. If there was ever a fight teachers would just discipline the students, and the consequences weren’t enough to stop the drama most of the time. Counselors should have intervened and helped more with the students. When I went to central me and my group of friends would leave for lunch everyday, and were never questioned by faculty when returning. I feel like any kid could just easily lie and make it past someone standing at the door. This is extremely dangerous, hopefully it has changed since then. My grandfather and all of this 8 siblings went to central. My parents and their siblings went to central. I went to central, but I would not put my future children in this school, unless they go through some major changes with staff.

I love Jefferson-Edison an so does my son. He has been their from Kindergarten and is now in 4th and has had a wonderful experience. The staff is always so supportive. The environment has a warn feeling that makes kids feel safe and loved. I would never send my kids to anywhere else.

I went to this school for 6th and 7th grade before moving schools. The teachers were great, I loved my teachers. I understood what they were teaching me and I understood what they expected of me. My biggest problem with the school is the students in it and the lack of control the adults in the building had over the students. I was an extremely quiet student and kept to my self, but I was always very aware. Kids would yell at teachers that they’re terrible at there job, they’d fight in the hallways, and were generally extremely disrespectful.For comparison, at the school I’m attending currently when I tell stories of things that happened they all stare at me like I’ve come from a different world completely. This isn’t normal. The school needs help, the district itself needs help.
