FIELD EXPERIENCE PRELIMINARY REPORT #1:

Jefferson Elementary School is 1out of 17 of the TISD schools located in the Central

Texas area with an overall population of 73,597, and a student/school population that caps at

8,635. Socioeconomic status amongst the Jefferson district lies at a 75.3 percent rate for free

lunches and 9 percent are on reduced lunches. This concludes the student population of this

school is classified either low-income or lower middle class. Housing around the area is mainly

older homes, some kept up, then some needing major repair, ranging from years 1960s-early

2000s averaging $30k-120k cost of those houses. There is also section 8 housing

(duplexes/apartments) single and family, east of the school.

Based at 753 students in the elementary school (according to TEA), is at a 49 percent

Hispanic population. This makes the ethnic distribution ratio of students different compared to

most other schools with white students making up the school majority. The political climate

shows to be majoratively republican, with votes from the Trump election at 55 percent, Clinton

40, and “other” at 4 percent. All over Temple there is major support for education. Most of the

campuses in need of a “face lift”, being that most of these schools aged over 40, are given a bond

and usually passed within the same year. All technology-based education is infinitely supported.

TISD is nearly all Chrome Book based as of 2009, and has grown considerably in near complete

technology use in the classroom (Chrome Books, presentation stations, tablets etc ;). (WC: 248)
