Summary

Andrew Jackson Elementary is a K-6 public school serving about 640 students in Selma Unified, a district that faces significant challenges, yet the school itself performs solidly for its community.

The school stands out for its strong science program, where student scores are notably higher than the district average and close to the state average, and for making impressive progress in improving student attendance since the pandemic. It shows particular effectiveness in supporting English Learners and students from low-income families, with performance for these groups often ranking above average compared to similar schools across California. While the school's overall state ranking has declined over the past decade, its performance has stabilized in recent years, and it generally outperforms most other elementary schools in Selma Unified, such as Terry Elementary and Indianola Elementary, though it trails behind the high-performing James Garfield Elementary.

Parents should be aware of some areas the school is working to improve, including support for Special Education students, where performance has recently declined, and consistency in English and math results across different grade levels. There is also a noticeable performance gap between female and male students. Despite these challenges, Andrew Jackson Elementary achieves moderate statewide results while operating efficiently with lower per-student spending than many district peers, demonstrating resilience within a difficult context.
