This is the nineteenth year of the School Accountability
Report Card that was established by proposition 98, an initiative passed
by California voters. As you read
through this Report Card you will gain a better understanding of
Jefferson as a school with a history of student achievement, a highly
skilled staff that is determined to make a difference and a student body
eager and motivated to learn in light of daily challenges.
Jefferson School is a small centrally located neighborhood
school built in 1917 with approximately 500 students in attendance from
Kindergarten through 5th grade. With a high English Language Learner
student population of approximately 40% Jefferson offers multiple English
Language Immersion classes which focuses on a strong academic program in
English Language Arts, Mathematics, and English Language Development.
Currently the mission statement reflects the school’s goals
and establishes its overall direction.
“Our mission is to instill in our students a sense of ownership of
their own learning and to guide and challenge the pursuit of that learning
such that students achieve to their maximum potential and become
productive citizens.”
We maintain that our school demonstrates a positive regard
for all students, staff and community.
We strongly believe that our students have the right to “dream”
about their future, “believe” in their personal abilities, and
consequently through collaborative support they will be able to “achieve”
their lifelong goals. Finally we
believe that teamwork involving all stakeholders is vital to student
achievement and personal success.
