Thomas Jefferson High School Reviews
Rating 3.87 out of 5 284 reviews
This isn’t a school at all, it’s literally a second home for everyone. It’s not a lie when they say once a spartan always a spartan, people somehow end up coming back to the school after graduating. It’s really an amazing school. And by senior year you end up knowing everyone even the principal, Mr.Christoff is honestly an amazing person. I truly recommend this TJ a whole lot.
Ever since I was a Freshman, Thomas Jefferson has been a great school. I have never had any complaints with the school. The best part is the small family-like community that is fostered in the school. I would like to maybe see a change in facilities, as they are not the nicest. Despite this, the facilities are still adequate for a public school and the school as a whole is great. The teachers are all extremely nice and helpful and the community is incredible.
Thomas Jefferson is a very diverse community with people from all sorts of backgrounds. The school also includes many different courses to meets the various students’ needs and interests.
