Jackson Middle

Summary:

Jackson Middle is a public middle school located in Champlin, Minnesota, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 1,981 students. It is part of the Anoka-Hennepin School District, which is ranked 160 out of 463 districts in Minnesota and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Jackson Middle consistently performs above the state and district averages in MCA-III proficiency rates for Math, Reading, and Science across all grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, Jackson Middle's overall Math proficiency rate was 49.62%, compared to the district's 51.74% and the state's 45.47%. The school also has a diverse student population, with a racial makeup of 46.04% White, 19.18% African American, 8.78% Hispanic, 15.6% Asian, and 9.89% two or more races, which is higher than the nearby schools in the Anoka-Hennepin district. Jackson Middle excels in the performance of specific student subgroups, ranking 31st out of 179 Minnesota middle schools for African American students and 1st out of 55 for Native American students, both with 5-star ratings.

While Jackson Middle maintains a diverse student population, the school has seen a slight decline in enrollment and a shift in racial demographics over the past few years, with a decrease in the percentage of White students and an increase in the percentage of Asian and multi-racial students. The performance of certain student subgroups, such as Asian, Hispanic, and multi-racial students, has also fluctuated over the years. Additionally, Jackson Middle has a relatively high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, ranging from 31.95% to 43.11% over the past three years, suggesting the school may face some socioeconomic challenges that could impact student performance. However, Jackson Middle still outperforms the nearby Anoka-Hennepin district schools in academic metrics, and schools like Northdale Middle and Anoka Middle School for the Arts also demonstrate strong performance, particularly in specific subject areas or student subgroups.

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.
