Summary

Jefferson-Morgan Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 402 students in grades PK-6 in the Jefferson-Morgan School District located in Jefferson, Pennsylvania. The school has consistently been rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, ranking in the bottom half of Pennsylvania elementary schools.

Jefferson-Morgan Elementary School's academic performance is generally below state averages. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 41.2% of students were proficient or better in PSSA Math, compared to the state average of 41.7%, and 45.4% were proficient or better in PSSA English Language Arts, compared to the state's 48.5%. This trend holds true across multiple years. The school's performance for certain student subgroups, such as White students and Low Socioeconomic Status students, is notably lower than the state averages. Additionally, the school has had consistently higher dropout rates compared to the state average, ranging from 1.3% to 1.6% over the past few years.

When comparing Jefferson-Morgan Elementary to nearby schools, such as West Greene Elementary Center and Bobtown Elementary School, it generally underperforms. Despite the school's relatively low performance, its per-student spending is higher than the state average, ranging from $17,318 to $19,424 over the past few years. This suggests that funding and resources may not be the primary driver of the school's academic outcomes. The school's consistently low performance, especially for certain subgroups, indicates that the district and school leadership may need to focus on targeted interventions and strategies to improve academic outcomes.
