Summary

Jackson Middle is a public middle school in San Antonio, Texas, serving 610 students in grades 6-8. It is part of the North East Independent School District (NEISD), which is ranked 385 out of 961 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating.

Despite being part of the NEISD district, Jackson Middle has consistently received a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, ranking between 1,100 and 1,900 out of around 2,200-2,400 Texas middle schools. The school's academic performance is particularly weak in Mathematics, with proficiency rates ranging from 11.96% to 44.13% across grades 6-8, significantly lagging the district and state averages. Reading proficiency is also below district and state levels, with rates between 37.56% and 41.94% in 2024-2025.

While Jackson Middle faces academic challenges, its Gifted and Talented program is a relative strength, with a 4-star rating in 2022-2023. However, the school's performance lags behind many of its nearby counterparts, such as Alamo Heights J.H., which is part of a different district and significantly outperforms Jackson Middle across all academic measures. This highlights the disparities in educational outcomes within the San Antonio metropolitan area.
