Jefferson Elementary School
Russ: I am so impressed with Jefferson Science Magnet Elementary School. The teachers are GREAT! I love the principal and think he has great ideas for the school (the whole district, really) and I trust his judgement. The kids get to go on interesting field trips every month and they have awesome special classes. I really love the support from the Maritime Aquarium. My daughter is having a great experience here!
