Troubling Trend: Jackson Elementary Schools’ 3rd Grade Math Scores Continually Dropping

These data charts show the trends of math M-Step performance both in the Jackson school district and statewide.

With the exception of Warner Elementary School, and Western School District, it is clear that test scores are steadily decreasing and showing increasingly poor performance. The 2022-2023 school year column shows the lowest performance data on the chart.


The 3rd-grade math M-Step scores show a worrying decline. This prompts a need for immediate action, including targeted student support, educator training, and review of curriculum, to ensure better outcomes for all students.
