Summary

Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratio, Jefferson Ave Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom 20% of Texas elementary schools, with significantly lower STAAR test scores than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 3rd grade reading proficiency was 30.3%, compared to the district's 37.39% and the state's 52.02%.
