Summary

Jackson Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 319 students in the Fresno Unified School District, operating in a community where over 90% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

The school's academic performance is in the middle compared to nearby schools, with about 31% of students proficient in English and 27% in math, placing it above the lowest-performing neighbors like Miguel Hidalgo Elementary but significantly below high performers like Jefferson Elementary. A major challenge is chronic absenteeism, at 31.7%, which is the highest among the compared schools and likely impacts learning. Interestingly, the school spends more per student than most peers, but this higher spending hasn't led to stronger academic results, suggesting resources may be allocated differently.

Some notable patterns include a large performance gap between female and male students, with girls ranking significantly higher, and fluctuating results across grade levels. The school has shown historical strength in supporting English Language Learners, though this appears to be declining. The dramatic variation in performance among nearby schools, like the high-achieving Jefferson Elementary which has similar demographics, shows that neighborhood challenges do not necessarily determine outcomes and that school-specific factors play a key role.
