While it's a great school for academic rigor, extracurriculars such as electives or clubs are severely lacking and sports are pretty much non-existent. Middle and high school students are overworked at times and will start to get very burnt out. If you strive for your child to be a well-rounded enthusiastic student, this isn't the right school for them. Additionally, the school is on the smaller side and as it is a charter school has a lack of funding. Regardless, the staff is very nice and it's not as hard to get one-on-one assistance from a teacher as it is at bigger schools.
I enjoyed participating with Thomas Jefferson Charter School from Kindergarten through my senior year. I particularly enjoyed the staff's adaptability for each student by providing more difficult and particularly useful skills to use not only for school but for life. This school pushed me to accomplish things I never thought would be possible. I have learned valuable skills and haven't ever felt lost during my transition from High School to college. I personally wouldn't change any of the staff or practices done at this school, and all staff here are very easy to talk to and get in touch with. I would recommend this school to anyone looking to receive a quality schooling experience whether it be for themselves or for their children.
Thomas Jefferson is a very great school. Compared to most schools, it is higher academically, and brings more of a challenge to the students. The teachers here are excellent, and you can tell they really care about each and every one of their students. The school is small in terms of the number of students, which makes it easier to ask for personal help from a teacher. Unfortunately, there are almost no activities or clubs at this school, and there is no orchestra. Therefore, if a student enjoys sports or clubs, you would have to go to a different school. Also, due to the small size of the school, there are no lockers provided for middle school students, so students would have to carry their backpack everywhere they go, and it can be much of a burden oftentimes. Overall, Thomas Jefferson, is a very good school. Academically, it is excellent, and it makes up for the lack of activities and clubs.
