Summary

Jackson Elementary is a public elementary school located in Elkhorn, Wisconsin, serving around 500 students in grades PK-5. It is part of the Elkhorn Area School District, which is ranked 114 out of 426 school districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Jackson Elementary consistently ranks in the top 20-30% of Wisconsin elementary schools in terms of student performance on the Forward Exam, with 4-star ratings from SchoolDigger. The school's performance is particularly strong in mathematics, with 3rd-5th grade students scoring significantly above the state average in proficiency. Jackson Elementary also excels in serving specific student subgroups, ranking in the top 5% for English Language Learners and top 3% for students from low socioeconomic backgrounds. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 0.5% to 19.5% over the past few years, is an area of concern, as it is generally higher than the district and state averages.

Compared to nearby schools, Jackson Elementary's performance is generally on par with or slightly below the other elementary schools in the Elkhorn Area School District, such as Tibbets Elementary and West Side Elementary. However, Jackson Elementary outperforms some nearby schools in other districts, such as Fontana Elementary and Lyons Center Elementary, which have lower rankings and test scores.
