Summary:
The Jasper Independent School District (Isd) in Texas has two elementary schools: Jean C Few Pri and Parnell Elementary. Both schools serve students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, with over 80% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.
Academically, the schools in the Jasper ISD are performing significantly below the state average on STAAR test scores across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, at Parnell Elementary, only 19.23% of 3rd graders are proficient or better in reading, compared to the Texas average of 48.85%. Similarly, just 12.9% of 3rd graders at Parnell are proficient or better in math, compared to the state average of 40.86%. The low academic performance is concerning, especially given the higher-than-average spending per student at both schools.
Despite the challenges, the schools in the Jasper ISD serve a diverse student population, with significant representation of African American and Hispanic students. This diversity could be an asset, but the district may need to address any potential equity or achievement gaps among different student subgroups. Overall, the data suggests that the Jasper ISD is facing significant challenges in providing quality education to its students, and a comprehensive review of the district's educational strategies and resource allocation may be necessary to improve student outcomes.
