Best Public Schools in Jasper, MO

Summary:

The city of Jasper, Missouri is home to two schools: Jasper County Elementary and Jasper County High School, both part of the Jasper County R-V district. While the elementary school outperforms the state average in mathematics and science, the high school lags behind in English language arts and science proficiency.

Jasper County Elementary stands out with its strong academic performance, particularly in mathematics and science, where it exceeds the state averages. However, the school also has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students. In contrast, Jasper County High School underperforms the state average in several subject areas, suggesting a potential disconnect between the quality of education at the elementary and high school levels.

Both schools maintain relatively low student-to-teacher ratios, but their SchoolDigger ratings have declined in recent years, with the high school dropping from 3 stars to 1 star. This decline in overall performance warrants further investigation and targeted interventions to address the underlying factors contributing to the academic disparities between the two schools and ensure all students in Jasper, Missouri receive a high-quality education.
