Jackson Elementary

Summary:

Jackson Elementary is a public elementary school in Plano, Texas, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 561. The school is part of the Plano Independent School District, which is ranked 185 out of 968 school districts in Texas and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Jackson Elementary has a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (57.75%) compared to the surrounding schools, its academic performance, as measured by STAAR test scores, lags behind the Plano ISD and the state of Texas averages across most grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, only 39.13% of 3rd graders at Jackson Elementary were proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to 64.1% for the district and 48.85% for the state. Additionally, the school has a significantly higher percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (72.91% in 2022-2023) compared to the surrounding schools, which range from 18.73% to 38.54%.

Despite these challenges, Jackson Elementary's special education and English language learner (ELL) students perform relatively better compared to their peers at the school. However, the school's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the past several years, from 2,167 out of 4,359 Texas elementary schools in 2017-2018 to 2,282 out of 4,675 in 2023-2024. When compared to nearby schools in the Plano ISD, such as Hightower Elementary, which ranked 255 out of 4,675 Texas elementary schools in 2023-2024, Jackson Elementary generally performs worse academically.

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.
