Jackson Elementary School faces significant challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 27.7% to 40.6% over the past few years, which is much higher than the state and district averages. The school's test scores are also consistently lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with only 20% of students proficient or better in CMAS English Language Arts in the 2024-2025 school year, compared to 44.8% statewide.

Addressing the high chronic absenteeism rates and significant achievement gaps between different student subgroups at Jackson Elementary School will be crucial to improving the school's overall performance and ensuring equitable outcomes for all students.

If I could give 0 stars, I would.
Jackson Elementary in Greeley is just a horrible school. The ratings seem pretty accurate here. The teachers focus on being your child's best friend and teaching diversity over teaching them basic skills such as writing, math or any other subject.
Teachers do not even have the ability to pull a child's file from the system as they do not listen to the parent and have been know to hand out your child's information to other people. Close Quote
