Thomas Jefferson High School for Advanced Studies Reviews
Rating 3.88 out of 5 176 reviews
Though I’ve only been attending this school for one year, many have been very welcoming. It’s been a pleasant experience considering I was very nervous to be coming to a new school. The best thing that I experienced at this school is the people and the sports. I’ve made so many new friends and rekindled lots of old friendships since I’ve came to Thomas Jefferson, and it really has made everything a lot easier. Speaking of friends, it’s also so fun to be able to play sports with them. The worst part about my school is how bad the internet and computers are, and how old the building is. The air conditioning often goes out and it is hard to focus, and even more difficult when the internet never works with the already slow computers. It was so bad sometimes I borrowed my moms laptop to bring to school, but I couldn’t do that everyday. These are 100% my favorite and least favorite things about the school that I attend. Thank you for reading niche!
The best part of Thomas Jefferson is the people, they’re all friendly people with passion for teaching and really like to connect with the students. Thomas Jefferson really make everyone feel like a family and an overall fun experience. The worst part was the building but it still hold a special memory for me.
Thomas Jefferson High School for Advanced Studies is a very open school. It offers amazing teachers. It is a very small school, so everybody knows everybody. The teacher and staff do a good job of making everyone feel like family. The students are smart and very kind. Thomas Jefferson is a great school while giving you a good high school experience. I am glad to be a jaguar!
