Samuel Jackman Middle

Summary:

Samuel Jackman Middle is a public middle school in Sacramento, California, serving 891 students in grades 7-8. The school is part of the Elk Grove Unified School District, which is ranked 594 out of 1,568 districts in the state.

Despite being part of the Elk Grove Unified School District, Samuel Jackman Middle consistently performs below the district and state averages in standardized test scores across all subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 23.4% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy, compared to 51.7% for the district and 47.04% for the state. In Mathematics, the proficiency rate was just 10.86%, compared to 41.16% for the district and 35.54% for the state. Additionally, the school has a significantly higher chronic absenteeism rate of 21.6%, much higher than the rates of other Elk Grove Unified schools and Sacramento City Unified schools.

Compared to nearby Toby Johnson Middle and Joseph Kerr Middle, which consistently outperform Samuel Jackman Middle in academic achievement, the school's performance is significantly below the district and state averages across all academic measures. This suggests that the school is struggling to provide a high-quality education to its students, with a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds (62.29%) contributing to the challenges.

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.
