Johnson Creek Public School

Summary:

Johnson Creek Public School is an alternative public school serving grades PK-12 in the Johnson Creek School District, with 605 students. The school has consistently maintained high graduation rates, ranging from 93.8% to 100% over the past 5 years, and low dropout rates between 0-1.4%.

While Johnson Creek Public School has some strengths, such as its high graduation rates and low student-teacher ratio, it also faces some challenges. The school has seen significant fluctuations in chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 4.6% to 32.8% over the past 5 years, which is an area for improvement. Additionally, the school's performance on standardized tests has been mixed, with some grade levels and subjects outperforming the state average, while others underperform. Compared to nearby alternative schools like Adeline Montessori School and Lake Country Classical Academy, Johnson Creek Public School generally has lower test scores, but higher graduation rates and lower chronic absenteeism.

One interesting finding is that Johnson Creek Public School's spending per student has increased from $10,921 in 2018-2019 to $13,653 in 2019-2020, which is higher than the state average. This increased investment in the school could be contributing to its strong graduation and low dropout rates. Additionally, the school has maintained a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 10 to 10.7 over the past 3 years, which may be a factor in its academic performance and student engagement.

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.
