Summary

Spann Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 381 students in grades K-5 in the Jackson Public School District in Jackson, Mississippi. The school has consistently been ranked in the bottom half of Mississippi elementary schools, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger in recent years.

Spann Elementary faces several challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 19.3% to 30.1% in recent years, significantly higher than the state and district averages. The school's test scores on the MAAP (Mississippi Academic Assessment Program) exams are also generally below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, only 18.4% of 3rd graders at Spann were proficient or better in Math, compared to 53.3% statewide. Additionally, 100% of Spann Elementary students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high-poverty student population.

Compared to nearby schools, Spann Elementary's performance lags behind many of its counterparts in the Jackson Public School District, such as North Jackson Elementary and Casey Elementary, which outperform Spann on test scores and have higher SchoolDigger rankings. However, one notable exception is Ida B. Wells APAC School, a high-performing public magnet school within the district that consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in Mississippi.
