Summary:
The city of Jackson, Louisiana is home to two schools - Jackson Elementary School and East Feliciana High School. Both schools are part of the East Feliciana Parish district, which ranks 55 out of 118 districts in Louisiana and is rated 3 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.
Based on the data, it appears both Jackson Elementary and East Feliciana High are struggling schools. Jackson Elementary has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from 597 out of 730 Louisiana elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 560 out of 666 in 2024-2025. East Feliciana High has maintained a relatively low statewide ranking, placing between 254-291 out of 321-329 Louisiana high schools over the past few years. Both schools lag behind the district and state averages in academic performance, with low test scores in math, English language arts, and end-of-course exams.
Additionally, both schools face challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, over 65% free/reduced lunch rates, and relatively low student-teacher ratios that do not seem to be translating into stronger academic outcomes. These factors suggest the students in these schools are facing significant socioeconomic disadvantages that may be contributing to their underperformance. Targeted interventions and support may be needed to help improve the quality of education at Jackson Elementary and East Feliciana High School.
