JEFFERSON (ANNEX) ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Jefferson (Annex) Elementary School is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Wallington Boro School District school district, located in WALLINGTON, NJ with about 248 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 3rd 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 17 teachers, Jefferson (Annex) Elementary School has a student/teacher ratio of about 14:1. 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 (Annex) Elementary School, located at 6 Bond Street in Wallington, New Jersey, serves as a primary educational facility within the Wallington Public School District. As an annex to the main elementary campus, the school is designed to support the district's commitment to early childhood development and foundational learning. It functions as a community-focused environment where students in the lower elementary grades receive instruction in a setting tailored to their specific developmental needs, often providing a transitionary space before students move on to the district’s larger middle and high school institutions.

The school benefits from its location in the close-knit borough of Wallington, benefiting from the district's emphasis on a rigorous curriculum and individualized attention. By operating as an annex, the facility helps the district manage class sizes and resource allocation, ensuring that younger students are provided with the necessary academic and social-emotional support to build a strong educational foundation. The school maintains a traditional public school atmosphere, working closely with local families to foster a supportive learning climate that aligns with New Jersey’s state educational standards.
