Three Jackson County School System schools were named to the U.S. News & World Report's Best Schools Lists on Thursday.
East Jackson Elementary School and West Jackson Elementary School were named to the Best Elementary Schools list, while West Jackson Middle School was named to the Best Middle Schools list. Earning this distinction comes after the schools ranked inside the top 40 percent of schools in the state of Georgia.
Schools are assessed by the U.S. News and World Report on their shares of students who were proficient or above proficient in their mathematics, reading and language arts state assessments. Half of the formula assessed the scores themselves and the other half incorporated the rest results in the context of socioeconomic demographics.
