While Jackson Elementary has a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (51.01%) compared to nearby schools, which range from 9.8% to 30.04%, it consistently underperforms on state assessments. In 2023-2024, only 19.3% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 50% for Fulton County and 38.4% for Georgia. Jackson Elementary has been ranked in the bottom half of Georgia elementary schools for the past several years, with a 2-star or 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 62.59% to 65.5%, significantly higher than the nearby schools.

In contrast, schools like Roswell North Elementary, River Eves Elementary, and Hembree Springs Elementary consistently outperform Jackson Elementary on academic measures and have higher school rankings. While Jackson Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 10.1 to 12.5 students per teacher, this advantage does not seem to be translating into improved academic outcomes, suggesting that other factors, such as curriculum, teaching methods, or school leadership, may need to be addressed.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
