Summary

Isaac Lane Technology Magnet Elementary School in Jackson, TN, serves 563 students in grades PK–4 and is part of the Jackson-Madison County Schools district, but it is currently one of the lowest-performing elementary schools in Tennessee.

In the 2025–2026 school year, Isaac Lane ranked 1005th out of 1,019 schools statewide, placing it in the 1st percentile with zero stars. Proficiency rates are far below district and state averages: just 14.1% of students are proficient in math, 16.0% in English language arts, and 9.9% in science, compared to state averages of 43.0%, 40.6%, and 46.9%. Chronic absenteeism is a critical concern, with 48.2% of students missing significant instructional time in 2024–2025—nearly double the district rate of 28.2% and more than 2.6 times the state rate. The school spends $13,154 per student, which is higher than several nearby schools that achieve much better results, such as Thelma Barker Elementary School, which spends less per student and posts more than double the proficiency rates with a chronic absenteeism rate of just 16.8%.

The contrast with nearby Community Montessori School is especially striking. Located just a few miles away with similar enrollment and per-pupil spending, Community Montessori ranks in the 70th percentile, has a 6.8% chronic absenteeism rate, and posts proficiency rates three to four times higher than Isaac Lane's. Despite its "Technology Magnet" designation, Isaac Lane's performance is indistinguishable from non-magnet schools in the same district serving similar demographics. The school's ranking has declined dramatically from the 30th percentile in 2011–2012 to its current 1st percentile, and science proficiency is critically low. The data suggests that resources alone are not the answer—addressing attendance, school culture, and instructional quality will be essential for improvement.
