Summary:
The Jefferson County R-Vii school district is home to two high-performing elementary schools: Telegraph Intermediate, serving grades 3-5, and Plattin Primary, serving grades K-2. Both schools consistently outperform state averages on standardized tests, with Telegraph Intermediate ranking in the top half of Missouri elementary schools.
Key metrics show that both schools have lower student-teacher ratios than the state average, indicating smaller class sizes and more individualized attention for students. Proficiency rates on state assessments are generally higher than the state averages, particularly in mathematics and science. However, Plattin Primary has a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting potential socioeconomic disparities within the district that warrant further exploration.
The strong performance of these elementary schools, especially Plattin Primary's success in the early grades, highlights the critical role of quality early childhood education. Additionally, the proximity and shared district of the two schools present opportunities for collaboration and sharing of best practices to further improve student outcomes across the Jefferson County R-Vii district.
