Summary

Jackson Elementary is a public elementary school in Wichita, Kansas, serving 290 students in grades PK-5. The school faces significant challenges, consistently ranking in the bottom 10-15% of Kansas elementary schools with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Jackson Elementary struggles, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science that are significantly lower than the Wichita district and state averages across all grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 29.74% of Jackson Elementary students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 28.89% in Wichita and 44.47% statewide. The school also has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 19.5% to 33% over the past few years, much higher than the state average.

In comparison, nearby Isely Traditional Magnet Elementary and Hyde International Studies/Commun Elementary Magnet schools significantly outperform Jackson Elementary in academic achievement, with higher proficiency rates in ELA, Math, and Science. This suggests that school choice and access to resources may play a role in student outcomes. Jackson Elementary's ranking among Kansas elementary schools has also steadily declined over the past decade, indicating the school may be struggling to address the needs of its diverse student population effectively.
