Summary

Jackson Elementary is a public elementary school in Plano, Texas, serving 677 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Plano Independent School District. While the district is ranked 230 out of 961 school districts in Texas and has a 4-star rating, Jackson Elementary has consistently underperformed compared to the district and state in STAAR test scores across various grade levels and subjects.

For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in STAAR Reading at Jackson Elementary was significantly lower than the district's scores, with 44.9% for 3rd grade, 33.33% for 4th grade, and 58.54% for 5th grade, compared to the district's 65.78%, 64.21%, and 70.07%, respectively. The school's performance gaps are particularly pronounced for Hispanic, English Language Learner, and Low Socioeconomic Status students, with rankings in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools. Despite relatively high per-student spending, Jackson Elementary's statewide ranking has been declining over the past several years, from 2167 out of 4359 Texas elementary schools in 2017-2018 to 2882 out of 4651 in 2024-2025.

Nearby Hightower Elementary, Wells Elementary, and Shepard Elementary consistently outperform Jackson Elementary in academic achievement, while the public charter Harmony Science Academy - Plano also outperforms Jackson despite serving a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students. The school's challenges suggest the need for targeted interventions and resource allocation to address the unique needs of the student population and improve overall academic outcomes.
