Summary:
Jefferson Township Public School District has one middle school, Jefferson Township Intermediate School, serving grades 4–8 and enrolling 550 students. In 2025–26, the school’s average proficiency was 54% in ELA versus 52% statewide, 38% in Mathematics versus 39%, and 25% in Science versus 23%. The main takeaway is a mixed profile: results are modestly above state averages in ELA and Science, while Mathematics is close overall but varies substantially by grade.
Because this is the only school in the group, there is no meaningful top-to-bottom comparison among schools; the clearest standouts are within its subjects and grades. Algebra I end-of-course proficiency was a major strength, at 87% compared with 40% statewide, a 47-point advantage; grade 8 ELA was also strong, at 64% versus 53%, 10 points higher. The clearest grade-level weaknesses were grade 7 Mathematics, at 28% versus 38%, 10 points lower, and grade 8 Geometry, at 71% versus 86%, 16 points lower. Geometry end-of-course results tell a different story: 71% versus 52% statewide, 19 points higher.
Results improved on average across grades 6–8 between 2024–25 and 2025–26, but not at every grade: the school’s ELA average rose from 54% to 57%, moving from 2.7 points below the state average to 3.4 points above it; its Mathematics average rose from 31% to 34%, moving from 2.3 points below the state to 0.4 points above. Grade 8 led the gains, with ELA up 11 points and Mathematics up 9, while grade 7 Mathematics fell 5 points and slipped further behind the state. SchoolDigger ranked the school 301st of 743 statewide, at the 59th percentile with 3 stars for 2025–26. For context, its 2024–25 student–teacher ratio was 10.2, 16% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, and chronic absenteeism was 11%, below the district’s 13% and the state’s 14%.
