Jackson Elementary

Summary:

Jackson Elementary is a public elementary school located in Rosenberg, Texas, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 293. The school is part of the Lamar Consolidated Independent School District, which is ranked 213 out of 968 school districts in Texas and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Jackson Elementary serves a predominantly Hispanic student population (81.57%), its academic performance, as measured by STAAR test scores, is generally lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, the percentage of 3rd-grade students proficient or better in STAAR Reading at Jackson Elementary was 32.81%, compared to 63.6% for the district and 48.85% for the state. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from a high of 935 out of 4,329 Texas elementary schools in 2016-2017 to 3,291 out of 4,675 in 2023-2024, indicating a significant drop in performance relative to other schools in the state. Interestingly, some nearby schools within the same district, such as Cora Thomas Elementary and Taylor Ray Elementary, perform significantly better on STAAR tests and have higher statewide rankings.

Another key factor at Jackson Elementary is the high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 91.47% to 94.55% over the past three school years. This suggests a high concentration of economically disadvantaged students, which may contribute to the academic challenges the school faces. Additionally, the school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with African American and Hispanic students performing notably lower on STAAR tests compared to their peers. Addressing these achievement gaps and improving the overall academic performance at Jackson Elementary will likely require a comprehensive approach, including targeted interventions, resource allocation, and collaboration with the community.

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.
