Summary

Jefferson Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 556 students within the high-performing Clovis Unified district, where it stands out for its significant investment per student and the strong support it provides for many of its learners.

Academically, Jefferson's students outperform state averages in English, math, and science, but their scores are below the district's high standards and generally lower than most nearby schools like Red Bank Elementary and Freedom Elementary. The school receives more funding per student ($16,187) than its peers and has a favorable student-teacher ratio, yet it faces challenges, particularly in upper grades where sixth-grade proficiency rates drop noticeably. The school has made excellent progress in reducing chronic student absenteeism, cutting the rate by more than half since 2022, though it remains an area for continued focus.

When compared to schools with similar student populations, such as Miramonte Elementary, Jefferson performs relatively well, ranking in the 68th percentile statewide. The school shows particular strength in supporting economically disadvantaged students, who rank in the 77th percentile. Key areas for growth include improving outcomes for sixth graders and ensuring the school's higher level of funding translates directly into stronger academic results across all groups.
