Thomas Jefferson Senior High School

I would rate this school a 0. They need new office staff, a new nurse and extensive training for their teachers.

Nice school on the outside and there are some nice teacher’s but very few. When one covering for an Assistant tries to reach out for help. One has to deal with teacher’s and personnel covering up “sketchy” situations when one tries to relate a concern on a student. The personnel of this school finds something to blame on one. And let’s one eat whatever the school finds and doesn’t care on the wellbeing of one if the teacher and personnel covering their own “sketchy” situations causes the one who is an outsider to be “Separated.” The personnel of this school only cares about the school’s spirit and the fanciness of the school. As far as some of the teacher’s go, there are very few who give the time of day and actually care about their student’s. The Assistant’s, Sub Assistant’s, Recess Aid’s, Helper’s, Volunteer’s and as well as one’s to whom ever else that I might have missed on this list who work or cover at this school suffer because of Personnel and certain teacher’s trying to maintain an image. REGRET BIG TIME COVERING FOR THIS SCHOOL!!! All those who are about to take on a job here. Please be aware. Oh, and anyone who post’s review’s for this school is alway’s the first to review because either this website or the school doesn’t want others using this website to find out the truth.

I have had a positive experience working at this school. The teachers are great and have so much experience specifically in Pre-K through 2nd grade- so teachers know where students begin and where they are headed in the next years. I work with really impressive teachers, former writing coaches, literacy coaches, math coaches, nationally board certified teachers, and all around dedicated and effective educators of young children. This is also one of the few schools in the neighborhood that has paraprofessionals in the classroom for more than 2 hours. Additionally, we have a grandparents volunteer program. We are transitioning into the Next Generation Science Standards and maintain a science lab for science and engineering learning. Weekly, students also see a music teacher and a theater arts teacher. These additional supports provide positive adult role models, provide extra safety, and provide more learning opportunities for our young learners. I also like that the physical environment is well maintained and welcomingI have students say to me frequently, "I love this school" and really that's the most important measure.

I personally attended this school when I was younger, I’ve come back to it online and through a younger family member and from what I’ve heard it hasn’t changed much. This school might not perform the best on state tests but it was incredible at providing a safe and encouraging learning environment for all of its kids. I remember going in groups to the schools library and choosing books to read, I remember the rainy days where the kids sat inside and chatted, the introduction to stem, and the large playground with things for all grades. This school doesn’t deserve a low overall score, from a first and second hand account it should be rated much higher.(Thank you to all my teachers for making it as good as it was)

I work at Ascot Avenue Elementary School and my son went there for preschool and kindergarten. The school has an excellent staff. The students that go to Ascot are always eager learners and teachers help them achieve high standards.
