Jefferson School Profile

  • Jefferson Elementary is located on southeast side of Wauwatosa and serves the neighborhoods of Jacobus Park and Charles Hart. 

    Our multi-level building was built in 1958 which makes it one of the "newer" elementary schools in the District. We enjoy a large outdoor area for students during recess as well as two playgrounds on our property. 

    At Jefferson, we are proud of the collaboration and dedication among our staff to ensure that each student is successful as we focus on both the academic and social development of each child. As one student put it, " Our school just feels like family."

    A few recent achievements we're proud of:

    • Overall Accountability score of "Significantly Exceed Expectations" on the 2016-17 state Accountability Report Cards issued by the Department of Public Instruction.
    • Recognized by Wisconsin Response to Intervention Center (WI RtI) for creating a behavior system to meet the needs of all learners, which is part of our District's focus on equity and educating the "whole child" by promoting the highest levels of cognitive, social, emotional, physical, and ethical development of each child.
