Jefferson Elementary School District
About the School:
The Jefferson Elementary School District serves kindergarten through 8th grade students from four contiguous areas in San Mateo County - the cities of Daly City and Colma, unincorporated Broadmoor Village, and a small section of the city of Pacifica. Daly City, with an estimated population of approximately 100,000 is the largest political unit, not only in the four areas, but also in the entire San Mateo County. The population of the four communities has a wide socio-economic, ethnic, and cultural diversity. The community is situated close to the City of San Francisco, the Bay, the Pacific Ocean, and San Bruno Mountain.
The Jefferson Elementary School District was established in 1866. As the population grew and shifted from the original Daly City-Colma concentration, new sites were acquired and schools were built in other parts of the District. At present, the District includes eleven elementary schools, three intermediate schools, a state preschool, a maintenance/warehouse unit and a District Office. These units are scattered throughout Daly City, Colma and Broadmoor, making it the largest complex in the community. The District serves more than 6,700 students. More than 20 languages are represented, making the District truly international.
The District presently employs more than 350 teachers and 300 regular classified employees. The Administration is comprised of experienced and professional people, and the Governing Board is supportive of the educational process.
The instructional program of the District requires high expectations of the students. The District maintains current materials and assesses student progress through multiple measures on an annual basis. Current results indicate that District students are performing at or above the State average in most areas.
The District believes in parent involvement. Every school maintains an active PTA and a School Site Council. The District also supports several district level parent groups, including a Parent Involvement Advisory Committee.
Those interested in learning more about the Jefferson Elementary School District are encouraged to call their local school or the Superintendent of Schools at (650) 746-2400.
