Jefferson Middle

Port Arthur is a tight-knit Gulf Coast community with deep roots in the energy industry, and Jefferson Middle reflects the working-class, resilient spirit of the city it serves. While the school faces the academic challenges common to many Gulf Coast urban districts, families here are part of a community that pulls together — and Jefferson sits in a part of Southeast Texas where the cost of living is low and neighbors tend to know each other by name. Families looking for an affordable place to put down roots near Beaumont and the Sabine Lake area, and who want to be active partners in their child's education, will find a school where that involvement can make a real difference.
