Jefferson High School

STM is more than a school, it’s a community. My oldest has attended for the last 3 years, and my youngest will start kindergarten in the fall. The school has proved to be a welcoming and encouraging environment. The friends she has made in her classroom, and the connections we’ve made as parents as been such a gift. The Covid response was something that really stood out to us. Our teacher immediately took on the new ZOOM element seemlessly. The children were still engaged and thriving (which for TK must have been an enormous challenge)! The school went right back to in-person by Oct/2020, and has had very little interruption since. They’ve created a safe environment, and we were so grateful for how well they’ve communicated throughout. The retirement of a longtime principal is a challenge for any school, and as a parent with early elementary children… it gave us a bit of nerves going into this school year. Luckily, the new principal has been energizing and enthusiastic to bring new life to STM. He’s engaging and kind with all of the kids, and the musical element that he is bringing to the school is fantastic! We are so excited to see where the next few years will bring our fabulous school.

We chose this school and we love it because of:1. Small class size: attention and support can be given to all students. Activities are customized based on interest.2. Strong sense of community that supports an anti-bullying culture. Non-Catholic families are welcome and active in this community.3. Teachers applies a strong academic curriculum while keeping things fun to develop well-rounded students. Teachers are very supportive and reports challenging behaviors/incidents to parents right away.4. Facility is secure and locked at all times. A front desk staff unlocks the door and greets adults coming in. It also helps that the school is in a quiet neighborhood and not at a main street.

This school is horrible I had all my kids there kindergarten to 8 grade . Teachers are rude principals don’t know how to conduct themselves. They don’t have many kids in the class room my daughter would tell me the teacher would be on her phone texting while teaching the class . No help if your child is struggling with math at all on top of that the teaching is not teaching . I would not recommend this school to anyone keep on looking for a better school don’t waste your time here .
