JEFFERSON INTERMEDIATE SCHOOL is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Rocky Ford School District No. R2 school district, located in ROCKY FORD, CO with about 240 students offering grade levels from 3rd Grade to 6th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families.
