Jefferson Traditional School

This school doesn't deserve a star! My child's second year at this school and I say this is one of the most careless schools of the South Bend Corporation, I really mean it! Safety is a huge issue here. Threats taken lightly and I do not appreciate their lunch monitor. School is in need of an upgrade and I cannot take the principal serious. If your living in the area, I encourage you to find a different school within the vicinity.

students are passed when they should be held back due to their everyday grades. This school is JOKE,even summer school is a camp ans not for clearing up what wasn't learned the past year! They are just passing kids along who will later know nothing.

We have three children at Good Shepherd. Enrolling them is the best thing I've ever done for my children! They learn more than I can measure and even beyond the academic curriculum. The emotional and social development of my sons is impressive. The school has become an important community for me and my wife as well. We developed lovely friendships and consider the school an important faith community for our family.

9/10 due to the new principal. I feel that the new staff at the school has truly been an improvement and will continue to provide the best education for the children.

This school has been great for both of my kids. It is diverse and also offers an outstanding education. Sports and other extracurriculars are well-done, and there is a strong sense of community. Our third child will also be going to school there when he is of age. Highly recommend!

If your kids fits in, good. If not it’s not going to work out for you. This is not a place for latest and greatest practices. There are empty slogans like “dress for success” that are pretty hollow. Leadership is particularly weak in handling trouble makers but are quick to examine belt color. None of the teachers are intellectuals though some try hard. Faith education efforts are good and is a strong point. Academics are good for most students. If your student is behind they will not catch up or get ahead... it’s a tough love kind of place academically. Look. If your kid is charismatic and can get accepted OR you’re in the Notre Dame community or you’re rich then everything will be fine. If you’re different there will be a few rich white doctors kids or Notre dame kids who will make life hard for your kid and you will get no support from the leadership. They believe their own hype though so you probably won’t get anywhere.
