JACKSONVILLE MIDDLE SCHOOL (6 - 8) - JACKSONVILLE SD 117

A school's student mobility rate is the percentage of students who experienced at least one transfer in or out of the school between the first school day of October and the last school day of the year, not including graduates.

Prior to 2017, a school’s student mobility rate reported the total incidents of students transferring in or out which caused a duplicate count for students who transferred in or out more than once during the year.

This graph shows the student mobility rate at this school. District and state data is included for comparison.

Students may change schools for a variety of reasons such as a family move, a transfer to a school that better serves the student's needs, or a period of homelessness. Continual student turnover is shown to be academically and socially disruptive to both ongoing and transferring students.
