Summary

North Elementary is a public elementary school located in Jackson, Missouri, serving grades K-4 with a total enrollment of 248 students. It is part of the Jackson R-II school district, which is ranked 55 out of 367 districts in Missouri and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

North Elementary has shown steady improvement in its statewide ranking, moving from 745th out of 1,058 Missouri elementary schools in 2014-2015 to a projected 231st out of 900 in the 2024-2025 school year. The school is expected to outperform the state and district averages in both Mathematics and English Language Arts for 3rd and 4th grades, with particularly strong performance in Mathematics. North Elementary has also shown strong performance among its low socioeconomic status (SES) students, ranking 157th out of 907 Missouri elementary schools in this subgroup for the 2018-2019 school year.

While North Elementary generally performs on par with or slightly better than the other elementary schools in the Jackson R-II district, such as South Elementary and Orchard Drive Elementary, the school's performance lags behind the higher-performing East Elementary, also in the Jackson R-II district. Additionally, North Elementary's per-student spending is lower than some of the other nearby schools, such as Clippard Elementary and Alma Schrader Elementary in the Cape Girardeau 63 district, which may contribute to the performance gap.
