I had the recent opportunity to substitute at Jefferson and had a wonderful time. The front office was very nice, I spoke with a few teachers and they were pleasant and only had positive things to say about the school. The kids were super sweet and kind. The school is not overrun with students and overcrowded which makes it much more enjoyable. I know the school may have had a reputation in the past, but I found it warm and inviting with a great school culture. There is not a lot of diversity with the majority of students being Hispanic, but from what I saw, students are well behaved and engaged in learning. This is definitely a school on the rise!
