JEFFERSON ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

JEFFERSON EL is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the HOUSTON ISD school district, located in HOUSTON, TX with about 445 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 27 teachers, JEFFERSON EL has a student/teacher ratio of about 16:1. 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, located at 5000 Sharman Street in Houston, Texas, is a public school operating under the jurisdiction of the Houston Independent School District (HISD). Situated in the Northside neighborhood, the school serves the local community by providing foundational K-5 education within one of the largest school districts in the United States.

As part of HISD, the school follows the district’s overarching mission to provide a rigorous academic environment focused on student achievement, literacy, and core curriculum standards. While the campus maintains its own specific culture and local identity, it benefits from the broader resources, administrative support, and standardized programs offered by the district.
