THOMAS JEFFERSON ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Thomas Jefferson Elementary is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the City of Monroe School District school district, located in Monroe, LA with about 257 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. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 14 teachers, Thomas Jefferson Elementary has a student/teacher ratio of about 18:1. 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.

Thomas Jefferson Elementary School, located at 1001 Pecan Street in Monroe, Louisiana, serves as a foundational educational institution within the Monroe City School District.

As a neighborhood school, it plays a vital role in the local community by providing structured early childhood and elementary education designed to prepare students for the rigors of middle school and beyond.

The school’s curriculum and culture are generally focused on meeting the diverse needs of the children in the Monroe area, often emphasizing hands-on learning and supportive classroom environments.
