Jefferson Elem School is a public elementary school that is part of the Massac UD 1 school district, located in Metropolis, IL with about 124 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 6th Grade. With about 9 teachers, Jefferson Elem School has a student/teacher ratio of about 13:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1.
