High Schools in Jasper County R-V

Jasper County R-V School District in Missouri has only one high school, Jasper County High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school has faced declining academic performance in recent years, with a drop in its statewide ranking and SchoolDigger rating. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, its students are underperforming on standardized tests compared to the state average, and a high percentage of students come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

Jasper County High School has seen its statewide ranking drop from 231 out of 468 Missouri high schools in 2017-2018 to 251 out of 352 in 2022-2023, with a corresponding decline in its SchoolDigger rating from 3 stars to 1 star. The school's academic performance, as measured by MAP test proficiency rates, is below the state averages in all subjects tested, including 8th grade Science, 7th grade English Language Arts, Algebra I, and Biology I. This suggests that the school is struggling to maintain or improve its academic outcomes compared to other high schools in the state.

Despite the school's academic challenges, it has a relatively high spending per student of $10,973, which is higher than the state average. Additionally, the school has a low student-teacher ratio of 11.8, indicating smaller class sizes. However, these factors alone have not been sufficient to drive improved academic performance, as the school serves a population with a high percentage (55.08%) of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant level of economic disadvantage among the student body. Addressing these complex issues will be crucial for Jasper County R-V School District to improve the educational outcomes for students at Jasper County High School.
