Summary

Jackson Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 559 students in grades PK-5 in Jackson, Georgia. It is part of the Butts County School District, which is ranked 116 out of 206 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite serving a high-poverty student population, with 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, Jackson Elementary consistently underperforms compared to the Butts County and Georgia state averages on standardized tests. In 2024-2025, only 13.9% of 3rd graders at Jackson Elementary were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 21.8% in Butts County and 34.9% statewide. The school has been ranked in the bottom half of Georgia elementary schools for the past several years, ranging from 704th out of 1,214 schools in 2020-2021 to 922nd out of 1,238 schools in 2024-2025.

While the nearby Hampton L. Daughtry Elementary and Stark Elementary schools in the Butts County district generally outperform Jackson Elementary, they also serve similarly disadvantaged student populations. In contrast, the nearby Henry County schools, while also serving high-poverty areas, tend to outperform Jackson Elementary on academic measures, suggesting that the Butts County district may have room for improvement in terms of resource allocation, instructional practices, and overall school improvement strategies.
