Summary:

Jackson City has five schools serving about 2,236 students—three PK-5 elementary schools, one 6-8 middle school, and one 9-12 high school—and the district is ranked 341 of 773, at the 56th percentile with 3 stars. Jackson Westview Elementary School is the standout: 292 of 1,560, 81st percentile, 4 stars, all listed 2025-26 elementary tests above district and state, including 5th Grade Science 87.5 vs state 62.7 and 3rd Grade ELA 89.1 vs state 63.4, plus the lowest chronic absenteeism at 11.3%. Jackson High School is the lowest-ranked school: 552 of 795, 31st percentile, 2 stars, with a decline from 51st to 31st percentile, Algebra I at 32.1 vs state 61.6, and American History at 62.2 vs state 73.2.

Jackson Middle School is mixed: 58th percentile, 3 stars, with 6th Grade Mathematics 73.0 vs state 56.2 and Algebra I 73.1 vs state 61.6, but 8th Grade Mathematics is 24.7 vs state 52.0. Jackson Northview Elementary School is stable at 58th percentile, 3 stars, with 4th Grade Mathematics 86.4 vs state 67.3 and 4th Grade ELA 78.0 vs state 61.8, while 5th Grade Science 54.7 and 5th Grade Mathematics 52.8 are below state. Jackson Southview Elementary School is slipping from 72nd to 69th to 61st percentile and 3 stars; 5th Grade Mathematics 80.3, 5th Grade ELA 80.3, and 3rd Grade ELA 80.4 are strong, but 3rd Grade Math 60.0, 4th Grade Math 60.0, and 4th Grade ELA 65.0 are below district.

Absenteeism is 11.3%–14.3% in elementary schools, below the district’s 17.7%, but 22.1% at both middle and high school, above district. Student/teacher ratios range from 12.8 to 16.0, with no simple relationship to performance. Spending figures from 2018-19 range from $7,296 to $10,104 and are outdated; free/reduced-lunch data is unavailable. Graduation at the high school is 97.5%, matching the district, a clear strength. The most urgent areas for parents and staff to watch are high school Algebra I, middle school 8th grade math, high school American History, and Southview’s declining trend.
