Elementary Schools in Jefferson School District 14J

The Jefferson School District 14J in Oregon has only one elementary school, Jefferson Elementary School, which serves students from kindergarten through 5th grade. The school has consistently underperformed compared to other elementary schools in the state, ranking in the bottom half of Oregon schools and earning a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Jefferson Elementary School's academic performance is significantly below the state average, with only 7% of 3rd-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 40.3%. The school also lags behind in Mathematics and Science. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 34.3%, which is much higher than the state average. These challenges may be linked to the school's high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 65.44%, indicating a predominantly low-income student population.

Despite the district's higher-than-average spending of $17,525 per student and a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 19.2, the school's academic performance remains poor. This suggests that the school and district may need to re-evaluate their resource allocation and implement targeted interventions to address the underlying issues and improve student outcomes at Jefferson Elementary School.
