Jacksonville Elementary

Summary:

Jacksonville Elementary is a highly-ranked public elementary school in Phoenix, Maryland, serving 502 students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. It is part of the Baltimore County Public Schools district, which is ranked 17th out of 25 districts in Maryland.

Jacksonville Elementary consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in Maryland, with a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. Its students significantly outperform their peers in the district and state on standardized tests, with 85.4% proficient or better in English Language Arts and 71.9% in Mathematics, compared to 41.9% and 19.3% in the district, respectively. However, the school has a predominantly white student population, with 83.07% of students identifying as white, which is higher than the racial diversity of nearby schools like Youths Benefit Elementary and Lutherville Laboratory. Additionally, Jacksonville Elementary has a very low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at just 6.18%, compared to nearby schools with rates ranging from 12.5% to 79.12%.

The exceptional academic performance and low student-teacher ratio of 16.8 at Jacksonville Elementary, compared to nearby schools with ratios ranging from 12.8 to 17.0, suggest that the school provides a high-quality educational experience for its students. This may be attributed to factors such as strong leadership, effective teaching practices, and a supportive community. However, the school's lack of racial diversity and socioeconomic differences compared to nearby schools could be areas of focus to ensure an inclusive and equitable learning environment for all 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.
