High Schools in Jefferson Independent School District (Isd)


Summary:

The Jefferson Independent School District (Isd) in Texas has only one high school, Jefferson High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school's academic performance has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas high schools, with below-average scores on state standardized tests. However, the school boasts a relatively high four-year graduation rate of 96.5% and a low dropout rate of 1.5%, suggesting that it is effectively supporting students in completing their high school education.

Jefferson High School serves a diverse student population, with a racial makeup of 52.89% White, 33.16% African American, and 10.26% Hispanic. The school has a high percentage of students (65.53%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively low-income student population. Despite these socioeconomic challenges, the school maintains a relatively small student-teacher ratio of 10.9, which is lower than the state average.

While Jefferson High School's academic performance is a concern, the school's high graduation rate and low dropout rate suggest that it is providing a supportive environment for its students. However, there appears to be room for improvement in the school's overall academic outcomes, particularly in core subjects like Algebra I, Biology, and English. By addressing these areas and leveraging the school's small class sizes and average per-student spending, the Jefferson Independent School District (Isd) may be able to enhance the educational experience and outcomes for the students at Jefferson High School.
