Jackson Elementary School ranks 725 th of 1248 Georgia elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Jackson Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Roswell, Georgia, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 545 students. The school is part of the Fulton County School District, which is ranked 57th out of 203 districts in Georgia and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite being part of a relatively high-performing district, Jackson Elementary School has consistently underperformed compared to the Fulton County and Georgia state averages on the Milestones Assessment. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics were significantly lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels. Additionally, the school has been ranked in the bottom half of Georgia elementary schools for the past several years, with a ranking between 712 and 867 out of over 1,200 schools, and has maintained a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past decade.

One potential factor contributing to the school's lower academic performance is its high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 62.59% to 65.5% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages. When compared to nearby schools in the Fulton County district, such as Hembree Springs Elementary, Roswell North Elementary, and River Eves Elementary, Jackson Elementary School's academic performance is significantly lower, with these schools having higher proficiency rates in ELA and Mathematics, as well as higher overall school rankings.

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.
