Jefferson Elementary is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Beaver Dam Unified School District school district, located in Beaver Dam, WI with about 290 students offering grade levels from 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.
