While Joppa Junior & Senior High School has seen fluctuating 4-year graduation rates, ranging from 73.3% in 2021-2022 to 89.5% in 2019-2020, this is an area of strength compared to the nearby Meridian High School, which had an 81.6% graduation rate in 2023-2024.

Chronic absenteeism has also been a significant issue, increasing from 10.9% in 2019-2020 to 24.7% in 2023-2024.

Despite spending a relatively high amount per student, $19,147 in 2022-2023, the school's academic outcomes suggest that it may need to re-evaluate how it allocates its resources to better address the specific needs of its student population, which has a high percentage of low-income families.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
