Jackson Elementary School

Summary:

Jackson Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Medford, Oregon, serving grades K-5 with a total enrollment of 322 students. The school is part of the Medford School District 549C, which is ranked 66 out of 140 districts in Oregon and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite being part of the Medford School District, Jackson Elementary School consistently ranks in the bottom half of Oregon elementary schools, with a statewide ranking between 564 and 687 out of 710 schools over the past 10 years. Its performance on state assessments (OSAS) is significantly lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, only 12.8% of 3rd graders, 17% of 4th graders, and 22.6% of 5th graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the district averages of 38.3%, 38%, and 47.7%, respectively. The school also struggles to support the academic achievement of various student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 10% of Oregon elementary schools for English Language Learners and in the bottom 25% for Hispanic, White, and Low Socioeconomic Status students.

When comparing Jackson Elementary School to other nearby schools within the Medford School District, it is clear that the school is an outlier in terms of academic performance. For example, Hoover Elementary School, located just 2.58 miles away, consistently ranks in the top 15% of Oregon elementary schools and significantly outperforms Jackson Elementary on state assessments. The high percentage of students from low-income families and the large population of English Language Learners and Hispanic students at Jackson Elementary School may be contributing factors to the school's lower academic performance, and the district should consider implementing more targeted and effective strategies to support the unique needs of this school community.

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.
