Jonesboro-Hodge High School

Summary:

Jonesboro-Hodge High School is a public high school in Jonesboro, Louisiana, serving 228 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Jackson Parish School District, which is ranked 61 out of 122 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite a relatively low student-teacher ratio, Jonesboro-Hodge High School has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Louisiana high schools, with declining performance on End-of-Course (EOC) exams. The school's proficiency rates in subjects like Algebra I, English II, and U.S. History are significantly below the state and district averages, and the performance gap is more pronounced for certain student subgroups, such as African American students and students of low socioeconomic status.

The combination of a low student-teacher ratio and a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students suggests that Jonesboro-Hodge High School may face unique challenges in allocating resources and providing effective educational support to its student population. Addressing these challenges and implementing targeted interventions to improve student learning and achievement should be a priority for the school and the district.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

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.
