Summary

Jackson Elementary is a public elementary school located in Manitowoc, Wisconsin, serving 353 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Manitowoc School District, which is ranked 373 out of 426 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Jackson Elementary's performance is generally below the Manitowoc School District and Wisconsin state averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 44.23% of 3rd-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 39.6% for the district and 52.14% for the state. The school also struggles with higher chronic absenteeism rates and a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a higher proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

When compared to other nearby schools within the Manitowoc School District, such as Franklin Elementary and Riverview Elementary, Jackson Elementary generally performs below the district averages in academic achievement. However, the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 14 to 15.5 students per teacher, may be a strength that could be leveraged to improve student outcomes.
