Jackson Elementary

Summary:

Jackson Elementary is a public elementary school located in Green Bay, Wisconsin, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 387 students. The school is part of the Green Bay Area Public School District, which is ranked 375 out of 428 districts in Wisconsin and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Jackson Elementary consistently underperforms compared to the district and state averages in academic proficiency. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 30% of 3rd graders, 26% of 4th graders, and 32.56% of 5th graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the district averages of 36.74%, 41.1%, and 38.37%, respectively. The school also has a significantly higher chronic absenteeism rate of 25.2% compared to nearby schools. Additionally, Jackson Elementary has a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 63.82% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, which is higher than the nearby schools.

While Jackson Elementary is part of the same school district as the nearby schools, its performance lags significantly behind them. For instance, MacArthur Elementary, which is only 1.63 miles away, consistently outperforms Jackson Elementary in academic proficiency and has a lower chronic absenteeism rate. The declining performance of Jackson Elementary, as evidenced by its statewide ranking dropping from 439 out of 1075 Wisconsin elementary schools in the 2015-2016 school year to 880 out of 1061 schools in the 2023-2024 school year, is concerning and suggests the need for intervention and improvement strategies.

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.
