Students from preschool through fifth grade come to Jefferson Elementary School to be inspired, persevere and succeed. These core values are reflected in the Kinderstart and Great Start Readiness programs and the special education classroom.
Jefferson Elementary welcomes a relatively small student population. Jefferson Elementary offers comparable academic performance and class sizes as one of five elementary schools in the Ionia Public School District. The school’s mission statement promotes it as an institution “dedicated to excellence in teaching, learning and character growth.”
Students and parents can expect community support activities and extracurricular opportunities throughout the year, thanks to the welcoming community around Ionia, Michigan. Both on and off campus, students can grow and explore their interests as they prepare for lifelong learning. The school regularly organizes field trips and other events for students to connect with the city and the surrounding area.
Founded in 1922, Jefferson Elementary remains a cultural and educational landmark in the city of Ionia. A supportive district, dynamic teaching staff and central school location help Jefferson Elementary School prepare students for a future of excellence.
