Jefferson Elementary

Public Grades 1-4

Summary

Jefferson Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades 1-4 in the Jefferson Independent School District (ISD) in Jefferson, Texas. With 267 students, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas elementary schools, earning a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger in recent years.

Academically, Jefferson Elementary's performance on STAAR tests is generally below state and district averages across grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 3rd grade reading proficiency rate was 54.84% compared to the state average of 52.02%, and its 4th grade math proficiency rate was 34.72% compared to the state average of 45.79%. The school's spending per student has increased over the years, but remains below the state average, and its relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.2 to 11.1 students per teacher suggests a focus on individualized instruction.

Compared to nearby schools like Wm B Travis Elementary and Sam Houston Elementary in the Marshall ISD, Jefferson Elementary's performance is generally lower. However, the school's ranking and performance have fluctuated over the years, suggesting that factors beyond the school's own efforts may be influencing its outcomes.
