What people are saying

by a parent
Saturday, February 25, 2012

If you have a special needs child Jefferson school is not the place for them. They don't have the budget for field trips and they share a music and art teacher with 3 other district schools. The guidance councilor is also spread across all the other district schools so she is unable to devote herself fully to one school. The principal iss heavy on fundraising and doesn't seem to follow through with regards to actual student needs. So far the first grade teacher has been a mixed bag. Academically she has the kids on par but they are not challenged enough and there are not enough enrichment activities. They do any accommodations for special needs kids within the classroom which makes no sense because none of the teachers have aids and the teacher has no special training with dealing with special needs. There is a high level of parent involvement and they push the PTA big time. Don't except too much intervention for your special needs child if you attend here. Close Quote
