Jefferson Independent School District (Isd)

The Jefferson Independent School District (Isd) in Texas operates 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, serving a diverse student population with varying academic performance and socioeconomic backgrounds.

Among the standout schools, Jefferson High School stands out with a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 92.4% and a diverse student body, while Jefferson Elementary School outperforms the district and state averages in 3rd and 4th-grade reading and math STAAR test scores. However, the schools generally underperform the state averages in other STAAR tests, suggesting a need for academic improvement across the district.

The district's schools serve a predominantly low-income population, with high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 65.5% at Jefferson High School to 83.3% at Jefferson Pri School. Additionally, the significant difference in per-student spending between the elementary schools and the high school suggests potential funding inequities within the district, which should be addressed to ensure equitable resource allocation.
