Summary

Jackson Elementary School in Jackson, LA, is a small PK-6 school serving 244 students within the East Feliciana Parish school district, and it has become a standout turnaround story by making dramatic academic gains despite serving a high-poverty community where 86% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

After years of ranking in the bottom 10-20% of Louisiana elementary schools, Jackson Elementary has made a remarkable leap. The school jumped from the 10th percentile statewide in 2023-2024 to the 35th percentile in 2025-2026, earning a 2-star rating. This improvement is driven by a surge in math proficiency, which rose from 28% to 54% over the same period—the largest gain of any school in the area. A key factor in this success has been a dramatic reduction in chronic absenteeism, which dropped from 24.3% to 13.9%, now well below the state average of 22.5%. This is a stark contrast to nearby Rosenwald Elementary School, which has a 91% poverty rate and a chronic absenteeism rate of 48.5%, ranking in the bottom 5% of the state.

Within its own district, Jackson Elementary has overtaken Clinton Elementary School in overall rank (35th percentile vs. 32nd percentile) and is closing the gap with Slaughter Elementary School (41st percentile). However, it still lags significantly behind the elite schools in the neighboring Zachary Community School District and West Feliciana Parish, such as Bains Elementary School, where math proficiency exceeds 80%. A persistent weakness for Jackson Elementary is social studies, where only 39% of students are proficient compared to 55% statewide, making it a clear target for future focus.
