Summary:
The city of Jasper, Arkansas is home to two schools: Jasper Elementary School and Jasper High School, both part of the Jasper School District. While Jasper High School stands out as a top-performing school in the state, the district as a whole faces challenges in mathematics proficiency and addressing the needs of economically disadvantaged students.
Jasper High School is a standout in the district, consistently ranking among the top high schools in Arkansas and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school has shown steady improvement in its statewide ranking, rising from 159 out of 282 high schools in 2021-2022 to 89 out of 305 high schools in 2023-2024. In contrast, Jasper Elementary School has a lower statewide ranking and a 3-star rating, though it outperforms the district and state averages in most subject areas, particularly in Mathematics and Science.
Both schools face challenges in Mathematics proficiency, with significantly lower scores in Algebra and Geometry compared to the district and state averages. Additionally, a high percentage of students at both schools receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a larger proportion of economically disadvantaged students. The district may need to consider additional support and resources to address these areas of concern and ensure all students have the opportunity to succeed.
