Jackson School was established in 1976 and is situated in the suburb of St Albans, in the South-West region of Victoria and Brimbank-Melton area as part of the Keilor-St Albans network. The community is well established with a total of 320 students enrolled in 2024. The Student Family Occupation and Education Index (SFOE) is 0.5233 (High) which reflects the socio-economic position of the community. The school is a Special School for students with a mild intellectual disability. All students must have a mild intellectual disability with a FSIQ within the 50-70 range and be funded under the Program for Students with Disabilities (PSD) or Disability Inclusion (DI).

Some students also have a secondary disability such as: Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Down Syndrome and ADHD with a small number of students with a minor physical disability. 72% of students are male and 28% are female. 6% identify as Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students. 68% of students are identified as disadvantaged. 57.5% of students were born in countries other than Australia. 24.53% of all students speak a language other than English at home of which 19.5% are Australian born. Overall, only 40.33% of all students are Australian born with 17% of students born in Vietnam. 31 language backgrounds are represented by our families with 37% of EAL students speaking Vietnamese at home. Only 5.66% are eligible for EAL funding. 1.6% are refugees.

50% of students arrive to school by eight school bus lines funded by DE Student Transport, 44% are either brought/collected by families some or all of the time, and 6% are independent travellers to and from school. The majority of families live within a 10km radius from school. Out of the three networks within the Brimbank-Melton area, around 50 feeder schools fall within Jackson School's Designated Transport Area (DTA).

As a collaborative learning community, our school improvement priorities are aligned with the Framework for Improving Student Outcomes (FISO) and our SSP goals and targets to enable us to meet our aspirations. The 2020-2024 SSP is focused around the following goals:
1. Achievement/Learning: Improve educational outcomes for all students.

2. Engagement: Improve student engagement and participation in learning.

3. Wellbeing: Improve student health and wellbeing.

The school has four Principal Class Officers (Principal and three Assistant Principal, three Leading Teachers, two Learning Specialists supported by eight Assistant Learning Specialists (PLT Leaders). We have 48 teaching staff and 72 Education Support staff. Our distributed leadership structure was implemented in 2021 and is aligned to FISO 2.0. Following our 2024 AMP capital works, our school is now structured into three collaborative learning communities (Junior School, Middle School, Senior School).

In 2024 we are running 29 classes with between 8-12 students in each class supported by a Teacher and at least one Education Support Staff.

Our curriculum programs are firmly developed from the Victorian Curriculum F-10 (including A-D) to educate our students to be equipped with the knowledge and skills needed to be independent, responsible, respectful and safe members of the community.

Learning in our foundation classes is focused around an inclusive and integrated play-based learning program influenced by the transition from VEYLDF. Learning in Years 3 to Year 8 is strongly focused around English, Mathematics, Integrated Learning (Science and Humanities), PBIS, RRRR and eSMART.

DE Careers Curriculum Framework has influenced our school designed World of Work program for Years 9-10 to prepare our students for their 2-year VPC or ASDAN transition programs. We offer a diverse range of onsite and offsite experiences with our school-ran cafe, travel training, supported work experience opportunities, VET and SBATs (including Head Start) to support our students towards the creation of their Career Action Plans.

We also offer a wide variety of specialist programs, including: Physical Education, Visual Arts, Performing Arts, Design Technology & STEM.
