Jefferson Elementary is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the San Diego Unified school district, located in San Diego, CA with about 411 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 5th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families.
