Jackson Academy of Music and Math (JAMM)

Summary:

Jackson Academy of Music and Math (JAMM) is a public elementary school serving grades K-8 in Morgan Hill, California, part of the Morgan Hill Unified School District. JAMM has consistently outperformed the district and state in academic performance, with strong results in English Language Arts and Mathematics. However, the school has also seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, which is an area of concern.

JAMM's academic performance is particularly noteworthy, with 63.6% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 49.8% in Mathematics, compared to the district averages of 44.98% and 34.34%, respectively. The school's success extends to specific student subgroups, such as female, multi-racial, and English Language Learner students, who perform higher than their peers statewide. However, the school's Hispanic, White, and low socioeconomic status students perform closer to the state average, and its disabled students perform significantly below the state average.

While JAMM's academic achievements are impressive, the school has also faced challenges, including a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, from 3.5% in 2020-2021 to 21.7% in 2022-2023. Additionally, JAMM has a relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting it may serve a more affluent student population, and a higher student-teacher ratio compared to the district and nearby schools, which could impact the school's ability to provide individualized attention and support to its students.

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.
