What a wonderful school.  My daughter was behind and struggling in the 2nd grade.  We moved in the school district just so she could
attend Thomas Jefferson.  She caught up that year and has had a great grades since.  She is in 6th grade now,
My mother attended Thomas Jefferson in the 1950's and encouraged me to move Kimberly.  We are ever grateful for her advise.

Many say this school is great or fantastic, but my now-11 year old niece attended for her elementary career and she was miserable. The students picked on her nearly all the time, and she was bullied on a near constant basis. I know for a fact she is shy, and she wants nothing more than to have friends (although she won't say it). When one child went so far as to turn what little friends she had against her... I was highly frustrated that faculty did nothing to help resolve this situation. It only went away because the child moved. Even still, my niece is barely beginning to get friends in the 6th grade. I hope the faculty picks up the slack, because I grew weary of hearing my beloved niece cry herself to sleep, or come home with bruises. No child deserves that.

Best Elementary School Grades in Burbank. Mostly Single family home children so most kids are there from K-6 grade and great parent participation in school.
