Summary

Jackson Elementary is a PK–5 school at 2530 Weeden Creek Rd in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, serving 295 students as part of the Sheboygan Area School District. The first thing parents should know is that Jackson outranks its district by a wide margin: the school sits at 459th of 1,039 Wisconsin elementary schools in 2025–2026 (56th percentile, 3 stars), while the district as a whole ranks 343rd of 432 statewide (1 star). Among nearby same-district schools, Jackson holds the highest 2025–2026 ranking — ahead of Grant Elementary (45th percentile), Wilson Elementary (42nd), James Madison Elementary (40th), and well ahead of Sheboygan Leadership Academy, Cooper Elementary, Longfellow Elementary, Sheridan Elementary and Jefferson Elementary. It also outranks Sheboygan Falls Elementary, though Kohler Elementary remains far ahead at 10th statewide.

The momentum is positive: Jackson's statewide percentile rose from 28th in 2021–2022 to 56th in 2025–2026, and chronic absenteeism fell from 20.3% in 2022–2023 to 14.3% in 2024–2025 — below both the district (21.5%) and state (17.3%). Fourth grade is the clearest academic strength, with 2025–2026 proficiency above district and state in ELA (65.45%), math (62.5%), social studies (74.55%) and science (67.27%); the social studies and science results stand out sharply against Grant, Wilson and Madison. Third and fifth grade are less consistent, with 2025–2026 ELA and math both below state averages, so the school's overall strength is driven heavily by one grade level.

Subgroup results are notable: English Language Learner students rank in the 91st percentile statewide and Hispanic students in the 86th, while the low-SES subgroup sits near the middle at the 48th percentile even though 61.02% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch. Special Education results have slipped from the 73rd percentile in 2023–2024 to the 50th in 2025–2026. Jackson spends $18,109 per student with a 10.0 student-teacher ratio, more generous than most peers, but Jefferson and Longfellow spend more and post weaker results, suggesting funding and staffing alone do not explain outcomes.
