Summary:
The Jefferson Elementary district in California is home to 11 elementary schools serving students from kindergarten through 6th grade. The data reveals significant disparities in academic performance among these schools, with some standouts leading the way and others struggling to meet benchmarks.
Marjorie H. Tobias Elementary emerges as the top performer, ranking 2205 out of 5,862 California elementary schools and consistently outperforming the district and state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics assessments. George Washington Elementary and John F. Kennedy Elementary also stand out, with high rankings and strong academic results.
In contrast, the district as a whole struggles with high chronic absenteeism rates, averaging 25.1% compared to the state average of 16.1%. The data suggests a correlation between chronic absenteeism and academic performance, with the top-performing schools also having the lowest absenteeism rates. Additionally, the high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch across the district indicates that socioeconomic factors may play a significant role in academic outcomes, presenting an opportunity for the district to address these disparities and provide more equitable support for all students.
