Jackson Elementary School

Summary:

Jackson Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-4 in the Pascagoula-Gautier School District in Pascagoula, Mississippi, with a student population of 178 as of the 2022-2023 school year. The school has a diverse student body, with 56.18% African American, 21.91% Hispanic, and 9.55% two or more races.

One of the key factors that differentiates Jackson Elementary is its high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with a 100% free/reduced lunch rate. Additionally, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.5, suggesting more individualized attention for students. While the school's academic performance has been mixed, with some strong performance in 3rd grade ELA, it has also struggled in other areas, such as 4th grade Math. When compared to nearby schools, such as Lake Elementary and Beach Elementary, Jackson Elementary generally performs below the Pascagoula-Gautier School District and state averages in both ELA and Math proficiency.

The school's racial diversity, high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, and fluctuating academic performance suggest that Jackson Elementary faces unique challenges. By closely examining the key metrics and comparing the school to its nearby counterparts, school leaders and the district can identify areas for improvement and develop targeted strategies to support the success of all students at Jackson Elementary.

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.
