Summary:
The city of Jackson, Georgia is home to 5 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The schools in this area face significant challenges, with most underperforming the state averages on key metrics like standardized test scores. However, there are also some bright spots, such as the strong performance of Henderson Middle School in Algebra I proficiency and the high graduation rate at Jackson High School.
Among the elementary schools, Hampton L. Daughtry Elementary School stands out with relatively strong performance, especially in mathematics, where 55.2% of 4th graders scored proficient or better, compared to 37.3% for Butts County and 48.1% for Georgia. In contrast, the other elementary schools generally underperform the state averages on the Georgia Milestones assessments.
Across the district, the schools face significant economic challenges, with all schools having very high free/reduced lunch rates, ranging from 83.18% to 83.33%. This likely contributes to the academic performance gaps observed between the schools and the state. Addressing these performance gaps and supporting the economically disadvantaged student populations will be critical for improving outcomes across the Butts County school district.
