Jackson Elementary School consistently performs above the Gwinnett County and Georgia state averages in the Milestones Assessment for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's 5th-grade students scored 52.5% proficient or better in ELA, compared to 48.8% for Gwinnett County and 43% for the state.

While Jackson Elementary School's academic performance is impressive, the school has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 61.9% to 73.06% over the past three school years. This suggests the school serves a relatively economically disadvantaged population, which makes its academic success even more noteworthy. When compared to nearby schools, such as Burnette Elementary and Parsons Elementary, Jackson Elementary School stands out as a high-performing school, though it may have room for improvement in certain subject areas.
