Thomas Jefferson High School Reviews
Rating 3.87 out of 5 283 reviews
During my time at Thomas Jefferson High School, I have been met with unconditional support from the community. I have been able to develop meaningful connections with my teachers, which has allowed me to thrive within their respective classes. I enjoy how much enthusiasm the whole staff seems to have everyday and how willing they are to help all of the students succeed. Although I have enjoyed my time here, it would be better if some of the teachers reacted to certain things in different ways. An example of this would be when there are conflicts between students because sometimes the teachers make it worse. By treating the students like actual people with feelings, the teachers could help improve the overall communication among the student body.
Ever since I was a Freshman, Thomas Jefferson has been a great school. I have never had any complaints with the school. The best part is the small family-like community that is fostered in the school. I would like to maybe see a change in facilities, as they are not the nicest. Despite this, the facilities are still adequate for a public school and the school as a whole is great. The teachers are all extremely nice and helpful and the community is incredible.
Thomas Jefferson provides a safe environment with great opportunities. From good academics to good performing athletes, the community is very close. A lot of people know one another from all grades due to being such a close knit community. We like to attend events hosted at school for the enjoyment that the event may bring. Overall, I have loved being at Thomas Jefferson high school because everyone there makes it feel better each and everyday.
