Jackson Elementary School

Summary:

Jackson Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 292 students in grades PK-6 in Jackson, Louisiana. The school is part of the East Feliciana Parish school district, which is ranked 65 out of 122 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating.

Jackson Elementary stands out for its significantly higher percentage of African American students (75-79%) compared to nearby schools like Clinton Elementary and Slaughter Elementary, which have a more balanced racial composition. Academically, the school consistently ranks in the bottom half of Louisiana elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Its proficiency rates on the LEAP assessments are well below the East Feliciana Parish and state averages, particularly for male students, White students, and students from low-income backgrounds.

The high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at Jackson Elementary, ranging from 78% to 100%, indicate a high-poverty student population that may be contributing to the school's persistent academic struggles. While the nearby schools in the district perform significantly better, the stark racial imbalance and underperformance at Jackson Elementary suggest the need for a comprehensive review of the school's resources, instructional practices, and support systems to improve educational outcomes for its students.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
