Summary

Jackson Street Elementary School is a public school in Northampton, Massachusetts, serving 276 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school consistently outperforms the Northampton school district and the state of Massachusetts in academic proficiency, with 54% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts, 47.65% in mathematics, and 58.18% in science.

While Jackson Street's female and male students generally perform better than their respective state averages, the school's Hispanic and low socioeconomic status students perform below the state average. Compared to nearby schools, Jackson Street outperforms other Northampton district schools, such as R.K. Finn Ryan Road and Leeds, but some schools in other districts, like Crocker Farm Elementary in Amherst and Anne T. Dunphy School in Williamsburg, have higher academic proficiency rates and statewide rankings.

Jackson Street's per-student spending has increased from $15,044 in 2018-2019 to $17,500 in 2020-2021, which is higher than the state average. The school's student-teacher ratio has remained relatively stable, ranging from 9.9 to 10.3 students per teacher over the past three years. However, the school's free and reduced lunch rates are not provided, making it difficult to assess the socioeconomic status of the student population and its potential impact on academic performance.
