Jefferson Elementary

Summary:

The Jefferson Elementary District in California consists of 14 schools, including 11 elementary schools and 3 middle schools, serving students from kindergarten through 8th grade. The district as a whole is ranked 720 out of 1,568 districts in the state and is rated 3 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

Within the district, a few schools stand out as particularly strong performers. Marjorie H. Tobias Elementary ranks 866 out of 5,862 elementary schools in California and is rated 4 out of 5 stars, with over 60% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and over 65% in Mathematics. Fernando Rivera Intermediate is also a high-performing middle school, ranking 798 out of 2,777 in the state and earning a 4-star rating, with over 55% proficiency in English Language Arts and over 35% in Mathematics. Additionally, John F. Kennedy Elementary stands out for its strong Mathematics performance, with over 50% of students proficient or better.

However, the data also reveals significant variation in performance across the district. Chronic absenteeism rates range from 10.2% at Thomas Edison Elementary to 33.1% at Woodrow Wilson Elementary, and free/reduced lunch rates vary from 28.57% at Marjorie H. Tobias Elementary to 61.54% at Daniel Webster Elementary. These disparities suggest that factors beyond just district-level policies may be influencing student outcomes, and addressing attendance and socioeconomic challenges could be important priorities for the district.
