About SJES

Welcome to South Jackson Elementary School!

South Jackson Elementary School serves students in Pre-K through 5th grade and is located in Athens, Georgia. Each day, we are committed to meeting the academic, social, and emotional needs of our students as we prepare them to be college, career, and life ready. Our mission is to develop innovative, lifelong learners who leave South Jackson with a strong academic foundation, and a deep understanding of character and citizenship. We maintain strong connections with families and the community through in-person events and digital platforms such as ParentSquare and social media, all in support of student success. We invite you to visit or volunteer with us and see firsthand that every day is a great day at SJ.
