Summary

Jackson Elementary is a K–6 school in Fresno, California, with 319 students. Its 2025–2026 results show a broad academic challenge: proficiency was below both Fresno Unified and California in English language arts (ELA), math, and science. Math is the clearest local concern: Jackson had the second-lowest math result among the school and its 10 nearby schools.

Jackson’s strongest relative result is third-grade math, where 43% were proficient—4 points above the district and 4 points below the state. Its weakest grade-level results were in fifth grade: 19% in ELA and 13% in math, the lowest among Jackson and the 10 nearby schools in both subjects. Overall, Jackson scored 30% in ELA, 21% in math, and 17% in science, compared with nearby-school averages of 38%, 36%, and 25%. It also trailed the district by 10, 8, and 7 percentage points, respectively, and the state by 19, 17, and 19 points. In fifth-grade ELA, the next-lowest nearby result was 24% at Miguel Hidalgo Elementary.

Jackson’s scores have changed little in ELA and math since 2022–2023, while science has declined: ELA rose by less than a point, math fell by 1 point, and science fell by 5 points. Meanwhile, the state’s results rose in all three subjects, widening Jackson’s gaps. SchoolDigger placed Jackson at the 21st percentile with 1 star in 2025–2026, below its 31st-percentile standing in 2021–2022. One notable student-group result is older: SchoolDigger ranked Jackson at the 44th percentile for English Language Learner Students in 2023–2024, compared with the school’s overall 20th percentile that year; the group ranking had fallen from the 62nd percentile in 2021–2022. Jackson’s student-teacher ratio was 19.9 in 2024–2025, compared with 18.6 for nearby schools on average. In that same school year, 91% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, close to the comparable nearby-school average of 92%.
