Overall, I would say that my experience as being part of the Jefferson County District is very well. I do not have any complaints. All my teachers have been very supportive throughout my 12 years in this district and I would also say I have a lot of resources as well. Something Important that I have seen Jeffco work on over the years is the diversity that has expanded through each Jefferson County school. Another thing I would say is that Jeffco cares about their students now more than ever and they have worked on it now especially due to the pandemic.
Jefferson county school district provides a great education. My teachers are passionate about what they teach and they make learning fun. I have been able to engage in school activities which enrich my life. We could improve on diversity. I also know that many student struggled academically and mentally during the pandemic. During these unprecedented times, both teachers and student were expected to achieve normally. Expectations as well as curriculum needed to be adjusted accordingly.
In order to describe the overall experience that Jefferson County School District No. R-1 offers I feel as though it is necessary to note that I appreciated the thoughtful and intuitive approach of instructors and academic leaders present during the time in which I was able to embrace the dynamic. In academics, there are a variety of different avenues for different long-term goals. Success is the key goal and that is a different ideal for each individual. Those of which that are more academically inclined have opportunity to be involved in the international baccalaureate programs offered in some schools in this district.
