I am a student and it is hard to focus because the other kids slack off.They teachers are also something to worry about.

“This school does not come close to it's potential. The best teacher that my son had was let go. She was the only one who communicated and acted on her desire to see my son succeed. With her intervention my son's GPA went up nearly 2 points! There seem to be too many politics at this school and not enough quantifiable actions! The principal seems to care but I question her judgment and level of experience. Equally as important the school's staff does not represent its students. There needs to be a more direct way for parents to communicate with on another so that we can effect change.”

“My daughter enrolled for her freshman year and enjoyed it very much! The teachers were kind and helped her when she needed it and kept us informed, without pestering us. I recommend this to any parents wanting an excellent curriculum that teaches you to think for yourself and question things to advance your learning opportunities.”

“This school has become overall, intolerable and immoral after the departure of Ms. Bailey (our beloved and caring principal who knew by heart, the first and last names of every student enrolled, whom she personally greeted while passing through the halls). This school severely lacks decency and experienced personnel in positions of power.”

“My daughter has attended for just one year, her freshman year. Everything is fine except there's a couple of teachers to be a bit wary of. Get to know your childs teachers.”

“thomas Jefferson is the best school that I have ever been to. The teachers are great and the people are also kind to me and anyone else there it dosen't matter who you are. Thomas Jefferson should be the top school of Denver we may not have alot but the students and teachers make up for all of that. Not to mention the work is equally a challenge it's more and harder to do because it's all new and so hard but yet out teachers still somehow get us on track and make sure we get the proper education. Sorry it's not a review but it's opinon almost the same thing.”
