Thomas Jefferson Elementary School

I have really loved this school for my children. They are always working on improving the quality of the education and not afraid to try new things when teaching. The staff is very responsive, the teachers all really care, and I love that there are ample opportunities to volunteer but it isn't mandatory. All the teachers my children have had really differentiate their lessons to reach all types of learners.

I pulled my daughter out after 2 years at this school because the school was only concerned with fundraising. Teaching children was considered the sole responsibility of the parents. All they were doing in class, EVERY DAY - ALL DAY, art, lots of it, but no actual learning. Your child’s learning, progress, and explaining anything related to actual teaching of academic materials is on you. Good luck to everyone still there.

I've really been impressed with this school. There is a very active PTA and Fundraising Committee that provides so many extra services above and beyond what the regular state/federal funding covers. The school communicates very well. The enrichment is amazing. STEAM lab, music class for all grades.

This used to be a good school but has gone downhill over the years, the same as the district. Top priority is money not the students. The new principal is horrible. He is very rude. My son has a disability and I had to fight to get him any services. The school has tons of bullying and nothing is done to prevent it. I pulled my kids because I didn’t feel safe with them at this school or in this district.

Fantastic experience with K-1 teachers. Frequent helpful communication between administration & parents, as well as between teachers & parents. Wide variety of extracurricular and child care options available.
