Summary

Jackson Elementary School in Roswell, GA, serves approximately 489 students in grades PK-5 as part of Fulton County Schools, and it has climbed from the 29th to the 52nd percentile statewide over the past five years—a steady upward trend that now places it in the middle of the pack with a 3-star rating.

One of the most impressive stories here is attendance. In just three years, Jackson cut its chronic absenteeism rate from 24.3% to just 3.5%—far better than the district rate of 16.6% and the state rate of 17.7%. That improvement coincides with real academic gains, especially in third-grade math, where 65.1% of students are now proficient, beating both the district (62.2%) and state (48.3%) averages. This is a remarkable achievement for a school where 100% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. The school also keeps class sizes small with a 10.4:1 student-teacher ratio, and it spends $23,134 per student—more than nearby Roswell North Elementary ($14,532) or River Eves Elementary ($17,359), which both serve fewer low-income families and rank in the 90th percentile statewide.

Still, there are areas to watch. Fourth-grade math proficiency (48.5%) and fifth-grade math (33.3%) lag well behind the third-grade success, and fifth-grade science (26.3%) fell sharply from the prior year. Among student groups, girls (57th percentile) outperform boys (46th), and Hispanic students (24th percentile) may need extra support. Compared to similar high-poverty schools nearby, Jackson ranks ahead of Ison Springs Elementary (44th percentile) and Mimosa Elementary (26th), while trailing Dunwoody Springs Elementary (53rd) slightly. The school’s rapid attendance turnaround and strong third-grade results suggest recent efforts are working, but closing the grade-level gaps will be key to sustaining this momentum.
