Summary:
The Jackson R-II school district in Missouri is home to 7 elementary schools that serve students from kindergarten through 4th grade. The schools vary significantly in size, with the smallest having just 44 students and the largest having 717 students. While the district as a whole performs well academically, there is a notable disparity in school performance, with East Elementary and West Lane Elementary consistently ranking among the top elementary schools in the state, while other schools in the district, such as South Elementary and Orchard Drive Elementary, have lower rankings and test scores.
The data suggests a potential correlation between socioeconomic status and academic performance, with the schools with lower percentages of free/reduced lunch recipients, such as East Elementary and West Lane Elementary, tending to have higher test scores and rankings. Additionally, the two smallest schools in the district, Gordonville Attendance Center and Millersville Attendance Center, have the lowest rankings and test scores, indicating that smaller, more rural elementary schools may face unique challenges. Across the district, the high chronic absenteeism rate suggests a systemic issue that the Jackson R-II school district may need to address.
Overall, the data provides a detailed look at the performance and characteristics of the elementary schools in the Jackson R-II school district, highlighting the standout schools, key metrics, and interesting findings that could inform future decision-making and resource allocation within the district.
