Andrew Jackson Elementary School

Summary:

Andrew Jackson Elementary School is a public elementary school in Jackson, Tennessee, serving 475 students in grades PK-5 with a diverse student population that is predominantly African American.

Despite increased funding over the years, Andrew Jackson Elementary consistently performs below state and district averages on academic assessments, with proficiency rates in Mathematics (17.6%), English Language Arts (18.6%), and Science (22.1%) significantly lower than the state averages. The school's performance varies greatly across different student subgroups, with African American and Hispanic students performing much worse than their White and female peers. Ranked in the bottom 10% of Tennessee elementary schools, Andrew Jackson Elementary lags behind nearby schools like Community Montessori School, which outperforms it across all subject areas.

The school's challenges may be influenced by its high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, which could contribute to the poor academic outcomes. While the school's spending per student has increased, this additional funding does not appear to have translated into improved performance, suggesting that factors beyond just funding may be at play. As the Madison County School District continues to grapple with these issues, addressing the underlying factors that contribute to Andrew Jackson Elementary's struggles will be crucial for improving educational outcomes for its students.

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.
