Summary

Jackman Road Elementary School in Temperance, MI, is a mid-sized public school serving 580 students in grades PK-5 within the Bedford Public Schools district, and it stands out as a high-performing school in a family-friendly suburban community.

Jackman Road is the top-ranked elementary school in its district and consistently earns high marks statewide, ranking in the 86th percentile of Michigan elementary schools. What truly sets it apart is its remarkable success with students from low-income backgrounds—the school ranks in the 94th percentile statewide for this group, showing that economic disadvantage does not predict academic outcomes here. The school also shines in science and social studies, where 5th graders score well above state averages (61.5% proficient in science vs. 40% statewide). Compared to nearby schools like Monroe Road Elementary and Douglas Road Elementary, Jackman Road leads in overall performance, and it achieves these results with per-student spending ($13,050) that is actually lower than some lower-performing schools in the region, such as Custer Elementary ($17,748).

While academics are strong, there are a couple of areas parents should know about. Chronic absenteeism is a concern—at 15.8%, it's more than double the rate at Monroe Road (5.2%) and Douglas Road (5.1%), meaning some students are missing significant instructional time. Additionally, 5th-grade math proficiency (48.7%) lags behind 4th-grade levels (65%), suggesting a possible transition challenge in upper elementary. On a positive note, the school has shown impressive resilience and growth since the pandemic, climbing from the 59th percentile in 2020-2021 to its current high ranking—a sign of effective, sustained improvement strategies that benefit all students.
