Summary

Jackson Elementary is a PK–5 school in Green Bay, Wisconsin, serving 382 students as part of the Green Bay Area Public School District, which itself ranks 383rd of 432 districts in Wisconsin (11th percentile, 1 star). Jackson's 2025–2026 school rank is 879th of 1,039 schools statewide — 15th percentile, 1 star. The school has been on a long-term downward trajectory: it ranked in the 59th percentile with 3 stars in 2015–2016 and has now been a 1-star school for the past four reported years (2022–2023 through 2025–2026), with a brief 2-star peak in 2021–2022.

Test scores trail district and state averages in most subjects. Averaging the tested grades, ELA proficiency is roughly 29% (district about 39%, state 53%) and math roughly 34% (district about 39%, state about 53%). Science is a weak point at 27.12%, and 4th-grade ELA at 25.42% is the lowest among nearby same-district K–5 schools, including MacArthur Elementary (50%), Beaumont Elementary (52.63%), and Chappell Elementary (64.81%). Math has trended downward across grades: 4th grade fell from 46% in 2023–2024 to 40.74% and then 32.20%, while 5th grade dropped from 50% to 36.36%. Fifth grade is a relative bright spot, with ELA 37.74% and math 36.36% both slightly above district averages. MacArthur Elementary, Chappell Elementary, and Valley View Elementary post much stronger results nearby.

Chronic absenteeism is 18.9%, better than the district's 27.3% but still above the state's 17.3%. The free/reduced lunch rate of 57.59% is lower than at most nearby Green Bay schools, yet outcomes are not higher. Jackson spends $16,209 per student with a student–teacher ratio of 12.6. The most pressing equity concern is English Language Learners, where Jackson ranks in the 7th percentile statewide with 0 stars; special education, at 28th percentile, is a relative bright spot.
