Read what parents are saying about Jefferson Jr. High SchoolAverage school. Ok Students. Ok Teachers. That's why I gave this rating a 3 out of 5, meaning average. Well, for most of it, it's an average day at the middle school. Too many bad kids at this school. They are some good students at this school, but the bad students population inside Jefferson middle school is > the good kids population at Jefferson middle school. The Bad kids outshadow the good kids inside Jefferson MIddle School. Well that is normal for a middle school to have a lot of bad kids. Too many kids who don't care about the real meaning of school, which exactly happens inside every average middle school you hear of across the U.S.A. This is the true meaning of school: You come to school to work, and then you study for your test, and get good grades, and listen to your wise teachers in class. That's what school is made for! Not for messing around with other students or screaming inside the hallway! This is the reason why many students hate school.
Posted by a student on 5/5/2018My love for school went up in this school.
Posted by a student on 9/21/2017During school it was ok... it wasn't the most enjoyable experience all of the time (mainly because of the 8th grade English department). However looking back on my middle school journey... I do believe that I was presented with many great opportunities and I was surrounded with support.
Posted by a student on 8/22/2017Run-down, dirty, low-class school with sub-par teachers. The Columbia Public School District is one to avoid.
Posted by a parent on 12/20/2016Main concern: systemic racism!!!Horrible school- teachers (not all of them fortunately). Some have bad attitudes and take them out on the students. Most school officials are very unprofessional. Not recommended.

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy experience with this school has not been a warm or welcoming one. 1) During drop off and pick up they have staff but they are not helpful much. They want the kids to move fast but are not doing anything to spend up the process. 2) They are not good at keeping parents informed. If my child could change schools I would not hesitate.Parent Review2y ago - Russell Blvd. Elementary School

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageBenton Elementary was not a positive environment for our child. The school faces a difficult challenge, due to the clientele that it primarily serves. The majority of the students are unfairly burdened with challenges that stem from their low socioeconomic households. Education frequently took a backseat to inappropriate social behavior, causing the curriculum to be unexplored in depth.The faculty contained zero percent of the predominant faces that the school serves. The administration did not create opportunities for the parents outside of the PTA to feel welcomed on a daily basis, or to become involved in being a resource to the teachers in real-time. The building was run like a youth custody rehabilitation center, where the main focus had been shifted toward free lunch. There were no school wide programs communicating and/or dealing with appropriate social interactions concerning behavior expectations. Every day seemed like the focus was just getting to the last school bell of the day without any of the students or their family members causing a personal injury to any of the students that kept their heads down and went under the disciplinary radar.Our student struggled in this environment. Our household does not foster or support this type of social interaction, and this is why our child spent the majority of his school day disengaged from his education opportunities. Many of the school hours for our child were spent on a tablet doing busy work instead of being challenged with curriculum. The school library goes significantly unused! Benton has lower reading scores, but does not keep reading material in the students hands. We witnessed the teachers reading to the students in their classrooms, while seemingly unconcerned if the students were engaged.Benton needs higher expectations all around! I understand how the challenges of each student’s home environment can hinder the education process, but school wide expectations that are clearly communicated at the front door can turn some of the being time spent as a prison guard into time being spent as an educator.Parent Review9mo ago - Ulysses S.
