Summary:
The city of Jefferson, Texas, is home to 4 schools serving students from elementary to high school, operated by the Jefferson Independent School District (Isd). The data reveals a mixed picture, with Jefferson High School performing relatively well, while the middle and elementary schools struggle, particularly in math and reading proficiency.
Jefferson High School stands out with a high 4-year graduation rate of 96.5% and a low dropout rate of 1.5%. The school also outperforms the state average in U.S. History STAAR EOC exams. In contrast, Jefferson J H and Jefferson Elementary lag behind the state average in STAAR test scores, particularly in math.
The data suggests that socioeconomic factors may play a role, as Jefferson Pri School has the highest percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients at 83.33%, indicating a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students. This disparity in resources and funding across the district could be a contributing factor to the performance gaps observed between the schools.
