Summary
Jordan/Jackson Elementary is an upper-elementary school at 255 East Street in Mansfield, MA, serving grades 3–5 with 760 students, making it one of the larger elementary enrollments in this group, and it serves as the upper campus of a two-school Mansfield configuration whose K–2 feeder, Everett W. Robinson, sits just 0.2 miles away.
In 2025–26 MCAS results, the school is solidly above state averages: 49.14% proficient in ELA (about 9 points above the state), 55.73% in math (roughly 15 points above), and 47.55% in science (about 7 points above). The catch is that it essentially tracks, rather than leads, the Mansfield district (74th percentile, 4 stars) while the school itself earns 3 stars at the 69th percentile, ranked 276 of 899. The most distinctive pattern is a steep slide from 3rd to 5th grade: ELA goes 57.26% → 48.22% → 42.64% and math 65.15% → 51.38% → 51.32%, a far sharper decline than the state shows over the same grades. Third grade is a clear bright spot — math there runs about 23 points above the state. Over time, the school's rank has settled into a steady 68–69th percentile, 3-star band, after a 2020–21 spike to the 83rd percentile in a disrupted testing year.
Results vary widely across student groups: special education gained 15 percentile points over three years and low-income students improved by 6, while other groups fall well below the school's overall 69th percentile. Resources are mid-pack — $17,513 per student (2020–21 figures) and a 12.9 student–teacher ratio, meaning larger classes and lower spending than the high-performing Foxborough schools such as Charles Taylor Elementary, Mabelle M Burrell, and Vincent M Igo Elementary. The closest structural twin is Richardson Olmsted School in Easton — same grades, 755 students, same 69th-percentile rank, stronger in science while Jordan/Jackson is stronger in ELA, and achieving it on roughly $3,000 less per student. Jordan/Jackson clearly outperforms the Norton schools, Henri A. Yelle and L G Nourse Elementary.
