Summary:
The city of Jackson, Tennessee is home to 5 middle schools serving students in grades 6-8. Based on the data provided, the middle schools in this area show a mix of high-performing and low-performing schools, with significant gaps in academic achievement across the district.
The standout schools in the area are West-Bemis Middle School and Northeast Middle School, both of which have 2-star ratings from SchoolDigger and consistently higher proficiency rates compared to the Madison County and state averages across multiple subject areas. In contrast, the other middle schools in the data set, such as Jackson Career Technology Magnet Elementary, Jackson Central Merry Middle School, and North Parkway Middle School, struggle with significantly lower proficiency rates.
The data also reveals some concerning trends across the district, such as a high chronic absenteeism rate of 18.9% and a lack of clear correlation between spending per student and academic performance. These factors suggest that a multifaceted approach may be needed to address the challenges facing the middle schools in Jackson and improve student outcomes throughout the district.
