Summary

Jefferson Elementary is a well-regarded public school serving about 500 students from Pre-K through 5th grade in the Everett School District, consistently earning high state ratings for its strong academic performance.

The school stands out for its success in helping all students achieve, particularly in science where scores are notably high. While many families qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, the school's test scores in English and Math are solid and outperform several nearby schools with similar student populations, such as Madison Elementary and Silver Lake Elementary. It also achieves these results while spending less per student than some of those neighboring schools, suggesting resources are used effectively.

Jefferson has shown impressive and consistent results for many student groups over time, though support for English Language Learners has seen some recent variation. Compared to schools in the neighboring Mukilteo School District, like Discovery Elementary, Jefferson performs significantly stronger academically. While the top-performing Penny Creek Elementary in the same district scores higher overall, Jefferson remains a stable and high-achieving choice with a notable focus on equitable outcomes for its students.
