Miami Jackson Senior High School

Summary:

Miami Jackson Senior High School is a public high school serving 1,305 students in grades 9-12 in the Miami-Dade school district in Miami, Florida. The school has a predominantly Hispanic student population (81.46%), with a significant African American enrollment (17.78%) and a small percentage of White (0.77%) and Asian (0%) students.

Despite additional funding and resources allocated to the school, Miami Jackson Senior High School has consistently ranked in the bottom 20-25% of Florida high schools over the past decade. The school faces significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates (ranging from 50.4% to 70.0% over the past 5 years), academic performance that is 20-30 percentage points below the district and state averages across all subject areas, and a four-year graduation rate that has fluctuated between 80.1% and 90.2% over the past 5 years, which is below the district and state averages. Interestingly, when compared to nearby schools within the same district, some schools like Young Men's Preparatory Academy and Miami Arts Charter have significantly higher academic performance, graduation rates, and lower chronic absenteeism than Miami Jackson Senior High School.

Despite the school's low performance, the per-student spending at Miami Jackson Senior High School has increased from $9,475 in 2019-2020 to $11,192 in 2022-2023, suggesting that additional funding and resources have been allocated to the school. However, this has not yet translated into improved academic outcomes. The school's high percentage of students (62.53% in 2022-2023) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch indicates a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population, which may contribute to the school's challenges.

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.
