Jasper High School

Summary:

Jasper High School is a public high school serving 681 students in grades 9-12 in Jasper, Texas. The school is part of the Jasper Independent School District, which is ranked 927 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Jasper High School faces several challenges, including a diverse student population with significant achievement gaps. The school has a higher percentage of African American (37.3%) and Hispanic (22.61%) students compared to nearby schools like Kirbyville High School and Newton High School. Academically, Jasper High School consistently ranks in the bottom half of Texas high schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger and STAAR EOC proficiency rates that are significantly lower than the state and district averages across all subject areas. However, the school's Gifted and Talented program appears to be a relative strength, with the school ranking in the top half of Texas high schools for this student subgroup in recent years.

While Jasper High School struggles academically compared to the state, it performs similarly or better than the nearby schools in terms of overall state rankings and STAAR EOC proficiency rates. The school has also shown improvement in its four-year graduation rate, reaching 98.1% in the 2022-2023 school year, which is higher than the state average. However, the school's high percentage of students (over 70%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-income families, remains a concern. Addressing these challenges and providing targeted support and resources to students may be crucial for Jasper High School to improve its educational outcomes and better serve its community.

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.
