Original Research by School Decision on Rose Hill School
Rose Hill School serves students from pre-kindergarten through eighth grade in Jackson, Tennessee, as a regular public school within the Madison County district. The school is located on Beech Bluff Road in the southern part of the city.
Jackson itself functions as the regional hub for West Tennessee, with healthcare as its largest industry followed by a diversified manufacturing base that includes automotive parts, food processing, and equipment production. The city sits roughly halfway between Nashville and Memphis along the Interstate 40 corridor and has seen modest population growth in recent years. The built environment is largely auto-oriented, with major commercial corridors along Highland Avenue and near the interstate exits, though the downtown retains a traditional square layout that hosts civic anchors like the Carl Perkins Civic Center.
Rose Hill's enrollment is spread fairly evenly across the elementary and middle school grades, with a slightly larger kindergarten through second-grade section. The student body is composed of a mix of racial and ethnic backgrounds, with the largest groups being white students and Black students, followed by smaller shares of Hispanic students and students identifying as two or more races. The school operates as a regular public school, not a charter or magnet, and state data on free or reduced-price meal eligibility was not available in the profile.
On the Tennessee state assessments for the most recent school year, the school's results show a share of students scoring at proficient or above that is below the state average in each tested subject. In math, a modest proportion of students met the proficiency bar. In English language arts, a similar share did. In science, about a fifth of students scored proficient or above. In social studies, which tested a smaller number of students, the rate was lower. The participation rates on all four assessments were high, meaning nearly every enrolled student took the tests. The enrollment and student composition data for the school does not include counts of students with individualized education programs or English learners, so it is unclear how many students receive those supports. A parent may want to ask the school directly about its special education and English learner services.
Because Rose Hill does not serve high school grades, there is no graduation rate to report, and the school sits outside measures that apply only to high schools. The neighbor comparison tool was not able to position the school's proficiency relative to other Madison County schools because only one school in the set had comparable data. That means there is no local benchmark from the county to say whether these results are typical or outliers among nearby schools, only the statewide context.
Housing in the area around the school is moderately priced relative to national benchmarks. Home values in the zip code have seen a slight decline over the past year, while rents have risen modestly. The estimated monthly mortgage payment on a median-priced home would be roughly comparable to the typical rent, suggesting that buying and renting are both options families may weigh without a strong financial tilt in either direction.
The district brief did not identify any recent changes of lasting impact for the Jackson-Madison County School System, so there is no major reorganization or programming shift to factor into a family's decision about this school.
For a parent considering Rose Hill, the core picture is a pre-K through eighth grade public school in a mid-sized regional city where state test results are below the state average in all subjects. The school's setting is auto-oriented Jackson, and the district has not recently undergone notable changes. The school does not have a high school, so families will need to consider where students go after eighth grade within the Madison County system. The lack of published data on income eligibility, special education, and English learner enrollment means a parent should seek those details directly from the school to get a full sense of the student support landscape.
