Summary:
The Jackson City school district in Ohio serves students from elementary through high school, with 5 schools including 3 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school. The district's schools show a mix of strong performance and areas for improvement, with the Jackson Middle School and Jackson Southview Elementary standing out as top-performing schools in the state.
While the district's schools have a predominantly white student population, they serve a relatively high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 40-56% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This economic challenge may impact the resources and support available to students. Chronic absenteeism is also a concern across the district, with rates ranging from 19.8% to 32.9%, higher than the state average.
The Jackson High School has shown signs of improvement, moving from a 2-star to a 3-star rating in recent years and achieving a commendable 90.6% 4-year graduation rate. However, the high school's performance still lags behind the district's strong elementary and middle schools, suggesting a need for continued focus on supporting student success across all grade levels.
