JEFFERSON ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
Jefferson Elem is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Geary County Schools school district, located in Ft Riley, KS with about 182 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 5th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 19 teachers, Jefferson Elem has a student/teacher ratio of about 9:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.
Jefferson Elementary School is located on the Fort Riley military installation in Kansas and operates under the Geary County School District (USD 475). As a school serving a primarily military-connected population, it is uniquely positioned to support students from transient families, offering programs and resources specifically designed to address the challenges and rewards of military life. The school focuses on building a strong, inclusive community that emphasizes academic excellence, character development, and social-emotional growth for children in grades K-5.
The school benefits from the broader educational infrastructure of USD 475, which is known for its commitment to STEM integration and student-centered learning environments. By fostering partnerships between military leadership, parents, and educators, Jefferson Elementary strives to provide a stable and high-quality educational experience for its students.
