Jessieville High School has shown mixed performance on standardized tests compared to state and district averages. While the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (30.3%) and Reading (33.8%) were slightly below the state averages, its Biology proficiency rate (46%) was significantly higher. However, the school struggled in Algebra (6.8%) and Geometry (16.4%), with proficiency rates notably lower than the state averages. The school's consistently high free and reduced-price lunch rates, ranging from 98.9% to 100% over the past three years, indicate a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

When compared to nearby high schools, Jessieville High School generally performs better than Cutter-Morning Star High School and Mountain Pine High School, but lags behind the higher-performing schools like Lakeside High School and Fountain Lake Charter High School. The school's state ranking has fluctuated over the years, suggesting inconsistent performance, and its high poverty rates may be a significant factor impacting student learning and achievement.

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.
