Summary:
The Jackson Public Schools district in Michigan is home to 7 elementary schools, serving students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The data reveals a mix of high-performing and struggling schools, with significant disparities in academic achievement and student demographics across the district.
Two standout schools are Sharp Park Academy and Dibble Elementary, which consistently outperform the district and state averages on state assessments, particularly in English Language Arts and Math. These schools also have lower chronic absenteeism rates compared to the rest of the district. In contrast, schools like Northeast Elementary and Cascades Elementary struggle with low proficiency rates, often below 20% in certain grade levels and subjects.
Across the district, chronic absenteeism is a significant issue, with several schools reporting rates above 30%. The data also reveals disparities in racial diversity and socioeconomic status, with schools serving higher percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch generally performing worse academically. These findings suggest that the Jackson Public Schools district may need to examine its resource allocation and support systems to ensure more equitable opportunities for all students, regardless of their background.
