Summary:
The Jay High School is the sole high school serving the Jay area, providing education for grades 9-12. With an enrollment of 427 students, the school has faced declining academic performance in recent years, dropping from a statewide ranking of 259 out of 431 high schools in 2023-2024 to 332 out of 350 in 2021-2022.
Academically, Jay High School struggles, with only 29.5% of 11th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts and just 9.5% proficient or better in Mathematics for the 2023-2024 school year. The school's 4-year graduation rate for 2021-2022 was 80.1%, which is below the state average. Additionally, the school serves a predominantly low-income population, with 77.99% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
Despite the relatively high spending per student of $10,673 for the 2018-2019 school year, the school's performance and student outcomes suggest a need for targeted interventions and improvements to better support the educational needs of the community. As the sole high school option in the area, Jay High School's challenges are of particular concern and warrant further investigation to identify ways to enhance the academic success and overall well-being of its students.
