School Number 6, also known as Jackson School and Holy Family School, is an historic building located in Davenport, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the Davenport Register of Historic Properties and on the National Register of Historic Places in 2011. History School Number 6 actually began as School Number 11 and located on Locust Street, just west of the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad crossing. It was replaced in 1858 by a two-room, frame school building at the present location. In 1874, the lot to the east of the school was purchased for a playground from the neighboring Presbyterian Church. The school was located in the Hamburg neighborhood, a large German neighborhood whose lower portion has been designated a historic district. As the area population increased, the Davenport Community School District determined it needed to provide a larger building. This was during the superintendency of J.B. Young when eight new grammar schools and a high school were built and six older buildings were extensively remodeled. Prominent Davenport architect Frederick G. Clausen was chosen to design the new School Number 6. Local contractors Oelerish and Peters were responsible for construction, which cost $19,400. The new school building was opened in October 1893. Classes were still taught in German even though only 36 of the 420 students had been born in Germany. In 1868, two-thirds of the students in School Number 6 had been born there. When it opened, the school educated students through the 9th grade. School Number 6 was one of the first schools in Davenport to have a kindergarten program. Newcomb Presbyterian Chapel was leased in 1896 for more classroom space. That ended the following year when Taylor School was completed and 50 students were transferred there. However, the student population here and throughout the district continued to increase. A bond referendum passed in 1902 to fund the expansion of school facilities. The architectural firm of Clausen and Burrows designed the expansion of School Number 6. A. Steckel & Meyer built the addition for $14,675. It was completed in 1903. In 1908, the school district decided to rename its elementary schools after former U.S. Presidents. School Number 6 was named after Andrew Jackson. Johnson School opened in 1910 and alleviated some of the crowding at Jackson. The school district adopted the 6-3-3 grade system in 1919 with the elementary schools housing kindergarten plus grades 1-6. The
