JACKSON ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Jackson Elementary is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Memphis-Shelby County Schools school district, located in Memphis, TN with about 341 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 5th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 27 teachers, Jackson Elementary has a student/teacher ratio of about 12:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Jackson Elementary School, located at 3925 Wales Ave in Memphis, Tennessee, serves the local community as part of the Memphis-Shelby County Schools (MSCS) district.

As part of the largest school district in the state, Jackson Elementary operates under the broader mission of MSCS, which emphasizes preparing students for future success through a structured curriculum and supportive learning environment.

The school’s proximity to the heart of Memphis positions it as a vital community hub, where families and educators collaborate to foster student development.
