Jefferson High School is a great school with amazing staff! Your teachers want to help you succeed in everything you do, and they provide many opportunities to do so. Students at Jefferson typically love the school and the atmosphere. I am fortunate to have been a Dragon for my high school years, and I am going to miss this school. However, I have a lot of happy memories from my time here that I can carry with me the rest of my life.
Jefferson High school is a great school! They take great pride in Academics as well as sports, and there are many opportunities that can be taken advantage of to build character. The teachers are wonderful and truly care to help students that may struggle and make sure that no one is left behind. Students take great pride in the school events and are always representing the school in red white and blue! Everyone in the administration is nice and they always there guide students when needed. As a senior, Jefferson High School has overall been a great experience and I would not want to go to another High School over it. With all the memories I have made at Jefferson High School, I would not change a thing!
Some teachers genuinely cared about your success in school and future and they went the extra mile to help you even. They'd tell you about different opportunities in the community, about scholarships and offered help where ever they could. The school itself needed improvements, however I feel (most) teachers did the best they could with the resources they had. I rated the school three stars because, all though the teachers where great, opportunities in the school compared to those in the city where slim. Also, student lunch could use some help and with gang activity throughout the towns causing frequent fights, one could argue it was not the safest high school.
