Summary:
The city of Jackson, Georgia is home to 5 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. These schools serve a predominantly low-income community, with high rates of free and reduced lunch recipients ranging from 64.8% to 100%.
Among the standout schools in the area is Henderson Middle School, which had the highest proficiency rates in Algebra I at 100% in 2024-2025, significantly outperforming the Butts County and Georgia averages. Another high-performing school is Hampton L. Daughtry Elementary School, which had the strongest proficiency rates in 4th grade English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to the other elementary schools.
However, the data also reveals significant performance disparities across the schools, with some, like Jackson Elementary School, struggling to meet state averages, while others, like Henderson Middle School, excel. This suggests potential inequities in resources and support across the district. Additionally, several schools, such as Jackson High School, have seen their statewide rankings decline over the past few years, indicating a concerning trend that warrants further investigation.
