Summary

Jackson Heights Elementary is a K–5 school with 407 students in Red Bluff, served by Red Bluff Union Elementary. Its 2025–2026 proficiency rates were below California’s in English language arts (ELA), math and science, but above its district’s in all three. The key takeaway is that science is the school’s clearest strength among nearby K–5 schools, even though proficiency in every tested subject remains below the state rate.

Science stands out locally: 31% of Jackson Heights students were proficient, compared with 21% in the district and 36% statewide; the school ranked first among nearby K–5 peers, ahead of Bidwell Elementary, Antelope Elementary and William M. Metteer Elementary. In ELA, Jackson Heights had 31% proficiency—18 points below the state and 5 above the district—and ranked second among those peers. Math was the weaker local result: 27% proficiency, 11 points below the state and 9 above the district, placing third among the four schools. Third-grade math is a particular concern: Jackson Heights’ 20% was the lowest among those schools, while its fourth- and fifth-grade results ranked second.

Results have improved in some areas, but progress is uneven. From 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, science proficiency rose 11 percentage points, while math fell about 1 point as the state improved; chronic absenteeism dropped 37 points, to 17.8%, just below the 18.3% district and state rates. SchoolDigger ranked Jackson Heights at the 31st percentile with 2 stars in 2025–2026, compared with the district’s 9th percentile. The 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 21.1, and 82% of students were reported as free/reduced lunch eligible. SchoolDigger’s student-group rankings point to differing relative effectiveness: Hispanic Students ranked at the 59th percentile, 28 points above the school overall, while White Students ranked at the 4th percentile, 27 points below it.
