Summary

Jackson Elementary School is a public elementary school in Colorado Springs, Colorado, serving 346 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Colorado Springs School District No. 11, which is ranked 77 out of 115 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Jackson Elementary School faces several challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 27.7% to 38.1% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state and district averages. Additionally, the school's academic performance, as measured by CMAS test scores, is consistently lower than the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 20.5% of students were proficient or better in CMAS Math, compared to 31.1% for the district and 35.9% for the state. The school also has a very high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 77.27% to 81.87% over the past few years, indicating a high concentration of students from low-income families.

When comparing Jackson Elementary School to nearby schools in the same district, such as Steele Elementary School and Stratton Elementary School, it becomes clear that there is a significant performance gap. These nearby schools consistently outperform Jackson on CMAS test scores and have lower chronic absenteeism rates. The available data on student subgroups at Jackson Elementary School also reveals that the school's performance on CMAS tests for Hispanic students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds has declined over time, suggesting the need for targeted interventions to address the unique needs of these student populations.
