Jeter Primary School

Jeter Primary School is a public early-elementary school in Opelika, Alabama. It serves students in kindergarten through grade 2 in the Opelika City Schools district. The school takes in about 430 to 450 students each year and keeps a student-teacher ratio of about 15 to 1. This lets teachers give each student more personal attention during their early years of learning. The students at Jeter Primary School come from many different backgrounds. Most of them are African American, but there are also White, Hispanic, and multiracial students. About two-thirds of the students come from families with low incomes, which makes the community's socioeconomic status very diverse. Recent state assessment data show that about 25% of students are good at math. Reading proficiency is listed as N/A because the school only serves primary grades, which may not take the same statewide ELA tests as upper elementary grades. Jeter Primary School teaches basic reading and writing skills, early math skills, and gives students hands-on experiences through programs like early STEM or project-based learning when they are available.
