Summary

Jefferson Elementary is a public K-5 school serving 716 students in the Lennox School District, and it stands out as a school on a strong and consistent upward trajectory, now ranking among the top 40% of elementary schools in California.

The school's greatest strength is in mathematics, where it significantly outperforms both the district and state averages; with nearly half of students proficient, it leads most nearby schools like Dolores Huerta Elementary and Beulah Payne STEAM Academy. Jefferson is particularly effective in supporting its student community, earning exceptionally high rankings for its work with students from low-income backgrounds and those experiencing homelessness. This success story is marked by a decade of impressive improvement, jumping from the 17th to the 60th percentile statewide, a growth pattern not seen at many neighboring schools.

While excelling in math and English, the school faces a common district challenge in science, where scores lag behind the state average. Attendance is also an area for focus, as chronic absenteeism rates, though improved, remain a concern. Within the Lennox district, Jefferson and Buford Elementary are the top performers, demonstrating that strong academic outcomes are achievable in the community.
