Summary:

The 39213 zip code area in Jackson, Mississippi is home to 4 elementary schools that are part of the Jackson Public School District. These schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade and consistently underperform compared to state and district averages on key academic metrics.

None of the 4 schools - Walton Elementary School, Johnson Elementary School, Smith Elementary School, and Dawson Elementary School, stand out as high-performing. All 4 schools have test scores well below the Mississippi state average in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science, with proficiency rates ranging from 15.5% to 47.3% compared to the state average of 48.3% to 56.6%. Additionally, these schools have a chronic absenteeism rate of 23.9%, significantly higher than the state average.

The data suggests a systemic issue within the Jackson Public School District, as these schools have consistently been among the lowest-performing in the state, with little to no improvement over the past few years. Addressing the underlying challenges, such as the high-poverty student population and chronic absenteeism, will be crucial to improving educational outcomes for the students in this community.
