Jackson R-II

Summary:

The Jackson R-II school district in Missouri consists of 10 schools, including 7 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school. The district as a whole performs well, with most schools ranking in the top half of their respective categories in the state. East Elementary stands out as the top-performing elementary school, ranking 33rd out of 906 Missouri elementary schools and significantly outperforming the district and state averages in math and English language arts proficiency. The district's middle schools, Russell Hawkins Junior High and Jackson Middle, also excel, with Russell Hawkins ranking 60th out of 451 Missouri middle schools and maintaining an impressive 96.8% proficiency rate in Algebra I.

While the district's elementary schools generally outperform the state, there is a noticeable gap in performance between the top-ranked East Elementary and the lower-ranked South Elementary and Orchard Drive Elementary.

The smaller attendance centers, Gordonville Attendance Center and Millersville Attendance Center, have high spending per student and relatively low student-teacher ratios, which may contribute to their strong performance. Overall, the Jackson R-II school district appears to be a strong-performing district, with several standout schools and a consistent level of high achievement across most metrics.
