Elms Elementary School stands out with the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics among the elementary schools, as well as a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate.

Among the high schools, Jackson Liberty High School shines with a 92.8% proficiency rate in Algebra II, significantly higher than the district and state averages.

The data also reveals significant variation in school performance, with chronic absenteeism rates higher than the state average across all schools, and wide disparities in free/reduced lunch rates and spending per student. These factors may contribute to the overall lower academic performance in the district compared to state averages. While the presence of an alternative school, Manchester Regional Day School, suggests the district is addressing the needs of specialized student populations, the data highlights both strengths and areas for improvement within the Jackson Township School District.
