Jones Senior High School

Summary:

Jones Senior High School is a public high school in Trenton, North Carolina, serving grades 6-12 with a student population of 557. The school is part of the Jones County Schools district, which is ranked 148 out of 242 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Jones Senior High School has a more diverse student population compared to nearby schools, with higher percentages of African American (32.85%) and Hispanic (15.08%) students, it has consistently ranked in the bottom half of North Carolina high schools, with a 2-star rating. The school's test scores are generally lower than state and district averages, and it has an exceptionally high percentage of students (over 99%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. However, the school's low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 11.3 to 12.6, could be an opportunity to implement more personalized and targeted interventions to support student learning and achievement.

In comparison, nearby schools like Lenoir County Early College High and Craven Early College High have significantly higher rankings, test scores, and college-readiness metrics, suggesting that students at Jones Senior High School may not be receiving the same level of educational opportunities and resources as their peers in the surrounding area. Addressing the challenges faced by Jones Senior High School and learning from the successes of these higher-performing schools could be crucial in improving the educational outcomes for the students.

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.
