Summary

Andrew Jackson Elementary is a 493-student K–5 school in Santa Ana, part of Santa Ana Unified. Its test results show different strengths from subject to subject, but proficiency remains below California’s overall rate in English language arts (ELA), math and science. The central takeaway is that science is the school’s clearest relative strength, especially compared with nearby elementary schools, even though it remains below the state.

Compared with the six nearby K–5 schools used for like-span comparisons, Jackson is above the peer average in all three subjects: ELA is 28% versus 21% (a 7-point lead), math is 21% versus 20% (1 point higher), and science is 26% versus 15% (11 points higher). Science also exceeds the district’s 20%, while ELA and math are close to district rates: 28% versus 33% in ELA and 21% versus 22% in math. All three results trail the state: 49% in ELA, 38% in math and 36% in science. Fifth grade stands out: ELA proficiency is 37%, and math is 23%; both are the second-highest results among the nearby K–5 schools, behind Adams Elementary.

Recent results are mixed: from 2022–23 to 2025–26, ELA fell 3 points and math fell 2, while science rose 15 points overall, despite a drop from its 2024–25 peak. SchoolDigger placed Jackson at the 18th statewide percentile with one star in 2025–26, down 16 percentile points from the prior year. Its 2024–25 student-teacher ratio was 22.3, and 91% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year; California is a statewide-free-meals state, so the eligibility figure is context, not whether students can receive meals. SchoolDigger’s ranking for Homeless Students was notably higher than its overall standing—82nd percentile versus 18th. Its English Language Learner Students ranking also fell sharply, from the 60th percentile in 2022–23 to the 41st in 2023–24.
