JACKSON — While record COVID-19 cases are popping up in schools across the Granite State, the Jackson Grammar School has yet to have a student test positive over the past three school years. The “small school with the big heart” has done its part to keep students and staff as safe as possible while providing face-to-face education, along with offering youngsters plenty of community enrichment.
Since March of 2020, there has been just one positive COVID case in the K-6 school, which has an enrollment of approximately 45 students.
