Jefferson Middle School

Elizabeth B: I am glad that I sent my son to this school. Jefferson Middle School is a safe and smart choice for our family. We really like the "gender specific classes"offered their. In addition to this, the teachers, staff, and coahes have have all gone above and beyond to provide my child with everything he needs to succeed. I am able to monitor his grades online and the staff is available when I need them.
