Jasper Elementary School

Summary:

Jasper Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 989 students in grades PK-5 in Jasper, Indiana, which is part of the Greater Jasper Consolidated Schools district. While the district is highly ranked, with a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger, Jasper Elementary School's performance lags behind the district in some key areas.

Jasper Elementary School's test scores, while generally above the state average, fall short of the scores achieved by other schools in the district, such as Ireland Elementary School. Additionally, the school has a higher chronic absenteeism rate compared to the state average, ranging from 8.3% to 11.0% over the past three school years. This is an area of concern that the school may need to address. Jasper Elementary School also has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 53.31% to 56.93% over the past three school years, suggesting a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students compared to some nearby schools.

Interestingly, Jasper Elementary School has a more diverse student population compared to some of the nearby schools, such as Veale Elementary School, Ferdinand Elementary School, and Ireland Elementary School, which have student bodies that are predominantly White (over 90%). Additionally, Jasper Elementary School's spending per student has decreased from $11,956 in 2019-2020 to $10,800 in 2021-2022, which is lower than the spending levels of some nearby schools, such as Winslow Elementary School and Northeast Dubois Intermediate School.

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.
