Summary:
Jenkins Independent School is an alternative public school serving grades PK-12 with a total enrollment of 475 students in Jenkins, Kentucky. The school serves a population with a high level of economic disadvantage, as indicated by the high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
While Jenkins Independent School maintains a relatively high graduation rate of 91.1%, the school consistently underperforms the state average on standardized tests across various subjects and grade levels. For example, the school's proficiency rates in ACT/English (34%), ACT/Mathematics (14%), and KSA/Mathematics (ranging from 11% to 33%) are significantly lower than the state averages. The school's reading proficiency rates, while closer to the state averages, still lag behind, with the highest being 48% in 10th grade KSA/Reading. The school's performance in other subject areas, such as KSA/Writing, KSA/Social Studies, and KSA/Editing and Mechanics, also falls short of the state averages.
However, Jenkins Independent School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 14.6 to 17.5 over the past three school years, and a higher spending per student, which may indicate a focus on providing additional resources and support for the students. The school's academic challenges, coupled with the significant economic disadvantages faced by its student population, present an opportunity for targeted interventions and support to help improve student outcomes. Unfortunately, the data provided does not include information about any nearby schools for comparison, so it is difficult to assess the school's performance relative to its peers.
