Colleen McCarthy: Jefferson over the last 10 or so years had fallen from grace in terms of it's opportunities and academics but over the last couple of years with a new administration and a lot of new staff has been quickly gaining back that which made it a top school. The school itself this year was split into two sections, the 6th grade Academy which focuses on technology and college preparedness and the middle school (7th and 8th) which has gotten new teachers that are focusing more on small class sizes and individual attention with students. Over the next two years Jefferson Junior High will all become Jefferson Academy and it's academic focus will be on Technology.
