Summary:
Jackson Elementary is a public elementary school located in Rosenberg, Texas, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 293. The school is part of the Lamar Consolidated Independent School District, which is ranked 213 out of 968 school districts in Texas and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.
While Jackson Elementary serves a predominantly Hispanic student population (81.57%), its academic performance, as measured by STAAR test scores, is generally lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, the percentage of 3rd-grade students proficient or better in STAAR Reading at Jackson Elementary was 32.81%, compared to 63.6% for the district and 48.85% for the state. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from a high of 935 out of 4,329 Texas elementary schools in 2016-2017 to 3,291 out of 4,675 in 2023-2024, indicating a significant drop in performance relative to other schools in the state. Interestingly, some nearby schools within the same district, such as Cora Thomas Elementary and Taylor Ray Elementary, perform significantly better on STAAR tests and have higher statewide rankings.
Another key factor at Jackson Elementary is the high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 91.47% to 94.55% over the past three school years. This suggests a high concentration of economically disadvantaged students, which may contribute to the academic challenges the school faces. Additionally, the school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with African American and Hispanic students performing notably lower on STAAR tests compared to their peers. Addressing these achievement gaps and improving the overall academic performance at Jackson Elementary will likely require a comprehensive approach, including targeted interventions, resource allocation, and collaboration with the community.
