About

The vision of Gwen T. Jackson School is to educate and empower everyone we encounter with excellence. This will be done by creating a successful urban elementary school that produces major gains in student achievement by providing the necessary skills for students to become thinking, productive, and responsible citizens.

Students will be well prepared for the academic challenges of middle school. Our school community is an inclusive community in which students from different cultural, ethnic, racial, and religious backgrounds, and learning styles will learn, live, and work harmoniously with mutual respect, without compromising their beliefs of identities. Each student will develop strong character modeled by caring adults and reflecting those values cherished by the Gwen T. Jackson School community.

All staff members are dedicated to developing human potential. They serve as ambassadors of education and embody professionalism that compels personal and group commitment to excellence in education for all students. Our parents serve as catalysts to unite the school and greater community in support of the education at Gwen T. Jackson Early Childhood and Elementary School.
