Great. My children love school. They have made excellent friends and have developed a love of learning. I love the diversity Jefferson Houston provides as well as the IB approach to learning.

My original rating was 3 stars, but as I went through all these questions, I knocked it down to 2 stars. I am debating if I should knock it down another notch, considering I don't think they distinguish between "honors" and "general" classes. And how some of the teachers act towards students - Why bother teaching if you are going to be mean, rude, and what not towards students.

We’ve had an excellent experience here - far better than anticipated. We will definitely be back after a wonderful kindergarten year. We are just one of many families attending JH that have been thrilled with the progress in 2017-18 and can substantiate the upward trend. We no longer feel the need to consider moving to another school system, as the school’s accreditation is being reinstated in Fall 2018. The greatschools.org scores provided here seem to be rather outdated.

My review is definitely a 4.5 out of 5
