Jury Elementary

Summary:

Jury Elementary is a public elementary school in Florissant, Missouri, serving 420 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Hazelwood School District, which is ranked 329 out of 376 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Jury Elementary stands out for several key reasons. It has a significantly higher percentage of African American students (93.1%) compared to surrounding schools and the state average. The school consistently ranks in the bottom 10-15% of Missouri elementary schools based on statewide rankings, and its performance on the Missouri Assessment Program (MAP) tests is significantly lower than the Hazelwood district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. Additionally, Jury Elementary has an extremely high percentage (over 99%) of students who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a very low-income student population. Despite the relatively high per-student spending of $12,073 at Jury Elementary, the academic performance of the school remains significantly below the district and state averages.

When compared to nearby schools in the Hazelwood and Ferguson-Florissant R-II school districts, Jury Elementary exhibits similar patterns of low academic performance and high concentrations of low-income and minority students. However, some nearby schools, such as Jamestown Elementary and Keeven Elementary, demonstrate slightly higher academic performance, suggesting that there may be opportunities to learn from their practices and strategies. The analysis of Jury Elementary highlights the persistent challenges faced by schools serving predominantly low-income and minority student populations, and the need for comprehensive, evidence-based interventions to address the root causes of educational inequity in the region.

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.
