Jackson Elementary School

Summary:

Jackson Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Colorado Springs, Colorado, serving 342 students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Colorado Springs School District No. 11, which is ranked 66 out of 116 districts in Colorado and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Compared to nearby schools like Steele Elementary, Stratton Elementary, and Foothills Elementary, Jackson Elementary has a more diverse student population, with a higher percentage of Hispanic (41.52%) and African American (7.6%) students. However, the school consistently underperforms in standardized test scores, with proficiency rates in CMAS/English Language Arts (37.1%) and CMAS/Math (22.9%) significantly lower than the district (37.5% and 29.3%) and state (44.1% and 34.2%) averages. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students (81.87%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which may be a contributing factor to its lower academic performance.

Despite these challenges, Jackson Elementary's diverse student population and the relatively strong performance of its Hispanic students suggest that there may be opportunities to implement targeted interventions and strategies to improve the overall academic achievement of the school. By understanding the key metrics that differentiate Jackson Elementary and the interesting findings from the data, the school district and community can work together to address these challenges and provide a better educational experience for the 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.
