Jamestown School-Lawn is the only school in this list, so there is no local school-to-school top or bottom comparison; its results stand out against the state, while closely matching its district. Grade-level results show some differences beneath the strong all-grade averages: ELA ranged from 60.5% in grade 6 to 81.1% in grade 5, and math ranged from 60.5% in grade 6 to 83.3% in grade 8. Science results were 64.9% in grade 5 and 70.8% in grade 8. For example, grade 6 ELA was 29.1 points above the state, and grade 8 math was 53.1 points above it.
Results improved in every subject from 2024–25 to 2025–26, with the largest increase in science: ELA rose 3.1 points, math 3.6 and science 8.2. These gains exceeded district increases by 2.4 points in ELA, 3.4 in math and 0.8 in science. SchoolDigger lists the school at 1 of 68 statewide in 2025–26, up from 4 of 66 the prior year and 4 of 64 in 2023–24. The school has 189 students, a 9:1 student–teacher ratio and a reported 2024–25 free/reduced-lunch rate of 11.64%; these figures describe its context, but this one-school list cannot show how those measures compare with other local schools.
