Summary

Jackson Elementary is a PK–5 school in Elkhorn, Wisconsin, serving 485 students as the largest of the three elementary schools in the Elkhorn Area School District, which ranks 122 of 432 districts statewide (72nd percentile, 4 stars). Jackson's own statewide rank for 2025–2026 is 416 of 1,039 schools (60th percentile, 3 stars) — still above average, but a clear step down from 157 of 1,061 (85th percentile, 4 stars) in 2023–2024 and 195 of 1,044 (81st percentile, 4 stars) in 2024–2025.

The school's standout strength is attendance: chronic absenteeism was 0.0% in 2024–2025, compared with 6.0% for the district and 17.3% statewide, and lower than every nearby school listed, including Tibbets Elementary (1.4%) and West Side Elementary (3.2%). Jackson also ranks in the top 1–2% of Wisconsin schools for its English Language Learner students three years running, and served its low-income students exceptionally well in 2023–2024 and 2024–2025 (96th–97th percentile, 5 stars) before falling to 73rd percentile in 2025–2026. It is worth noting that Jackson has the lowest per-student spending ($13,629) and the highest student-teacher ratio (16.1) among the nearby schools, and 38.56% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch.

In 2025–2026 test results, Jackson was above the state average in grade 3 and 4 reading and math and grade 4 social studies, but below the state in grade 5 reading, grade 5 math, and grade 4 science, and below the district in every subject and grade reported. Within Elkhorn, Tibbets ranks 95th percentile and West Side 83rd, while Jackson sits at 60th — the lowest of the three. Jackson is not a low-performing school; it is a previously high-performing one working to reverse a recent slide. Grade 5 and science are its clearest academic priorities.
