Jefferson Community School is a non-profit independent school located in downtown Port Townsend, Washington. Opened in 2005, it is one of the only four independent educational institutions in Jefferson County.[2] Jefferson Community School serves students from grades 6 to 12, and had a total enrollment of 22 students for the 2013–2014 school year.[1]
Academics
As of 2013, the school has less than 10 faculty members. In the 2013-2014 school year, the student–teacher ratio was 9 students per teacher. The dropout rate is 0% far lower than the state average.
Athletics
The school is currently too small to have any organized athletic teams but the students may participate on any of the Port Townsend High School sports teams. For two years the school had an Ultimate team, with uniforms, but was not entered in any official tournaments.
Expeditions
Jefferson Community School practices "global learning" by traveling to such locations as Thailand, Japan, Mexico, South Carolina, Pennsylvania, California, Oregon, Texas, Costa Rica and New Orleans. During February 2007, the JCS students hosted visiting students from Argentina for two weeks.
