Jasper County Elementary

Q: Is Jasper County Elementary a good school?

Jasper County Elementary ranks 337 th of 898 Missouri elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Jasper County Elementary is a public elementary school in Jasper, Missouri, serving 236 students in grades K-6 as part of the Jasper County R-V school district. The school has a predominantly white student population, with mixed academic performance and a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

Jasper County Elementary has shown strong academic performance in 3rd-grade math and 5th-grade science, exceeding the state averages. However, the school's performance in other grade levels and subjects has been more average or below average compared to the state. The school's high percentage of white students (91.95%) stands out compared to the more diverse student populations at nearby schools like Fairview Elementary (39.9% white) and Columbian Elementary (29.55% white), suggesting a need to address diversity and inclusion efforts. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds (52.54%), which may require additional resources and support.

Jasper County Elementary has seen an increase in per-student spending over the past few years, reaching $9,197 in 2021-2022, and maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.9. These investments in resources and staffing suggest a commitment to supporting student learning. However, the school's inconsistent academic performance across grade levels and subjects indicates a need for a closer examination of curriculum, instructional practices, and targeted interventions to improve student outcomes. Comparing Jasper County Elementary to high-performing schools like Harry S. Truman Elementary in the Webb City R-VII district could provide valuable insights and opportunities for collaboration and learning.

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.
