Summary

Jackson Elementary School is a public elementary school in Norman, Oklahoma, serving 443 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Norman School District, which is ranked 151 out of 452 districts in the state.

Despite being part of a relatively well-ranked district, Jackson Elementary School consistently underperforms compared to the district and state averages in standardized test scores. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 20% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 35% in the Norman district and 26% statewide. Similarly, in mathematics, only 23% of students were proficient or better, compared to 31% in the Norman district and 26% statewide. The school also has high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 17.1% to 30.0% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the state average.

Interestingly, Jackson Elementary School's academic performance is significantly lower than most of the nearby schools in the Norman district, such as Lincoln Elementary School and McKinley Elementary School, which have much higher proficiency rates and lower chronic absenteeism. The school's consistent underperformance over the years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 394 out of 845 Oklahoma elementary schools in 2009-2010 to 431 out of 614 in 2024-2025, suggests that the school has struggled to improve student outcomes.
