Elementary Schools in Jackson R-II

Summary:

The Jackson R-II school district in Missouri is home to 7 elementary schools serving students from kindergarten through 4th grade. While the district as a whole is a high-performing one, ranked 55 out of 376 districts in the state, there is a noticeable disparity in academic performance among the individual elementary schools.

The top-performing schools in the district are East Elementary and West Lane Elementary, both of which are rated 4 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger and consistently rank among the top 260-134 elementary schools in Missouri. These schools outperform the district and state averages in both Math and English Language Arts proficiency, and have relatively low free/reduced lunch rates, suggesting a more affluent student population. In contrast, South Elementary and Orchard Drive Elementary lag behind in academic performance.

The smaller attendance centers, Gordonville Attendance Center and Millersville Attendance Center, have the lowest student-teacher ratios, which may contribute to their students' academic success. Additionally, the significant difference in spending per student between the highest-performing school (East Elementary at $14,915) and the lowest-performing school (Orchard Drive Elementary at $10,493) raises questions about the Jackson R-II district's funding allocation and its impact on student outcomes.
