Summary

North Jackson Elementary is a public elementary school in Glasgow, Kentucky, serving 546 students in grades PK-6 as part of the Barren County School District. The school consistently outperforms the district and state averages in academic proficiency, particularly in mathematics and reading.

North Jackson Elementary has shown steady improvement in its statewide ranking, moving from the 80th percentile in 2014-2015 to the 276th percentile in 2024-2025. This growth is especially notable for the school's female and male students, who have ranked in the top 50% of Kentucky elementary schools in recent years. The school also performs well for its special education and homeless student populations, ranking in the top 25% and top 35% of Kentucky elementary schools, respectively, in 2018-2019. However, the school struggles with its white and low socioeconomic status (SES) student populations, ranking in the bottom 50% of Kentucky elementary schools in these categories.

While Austin Tracy Elementary and Temple Hill Elementary also report high chronic absenteeism rates, North Jackson Elementary generally outperforms these nearby schools in academic proficiency and growth. Nonetheless, Hiseville Elementary and Red Cross Elementary, also in the Barren County district, demonstrate comparable or even stronger performance in certain subject areas and grade levels, suggesting opportunities for North Jackson Elementary to learn from its higher-performing peers.
