Jellico High School

Summary:

Jellico High School is a public high school serving 281 students in grades 9-12 in Jellico, Tennessee. The school is part of the Campbell County School District, which is ranked 125 out of 139 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Jellico High School faces several challenges, including a significantly higher percentage of white students (96.8%) compared to the state average, consistently ranking in the bottom half of Tennessee high schools, and struggling with the performance of male students and white students on state assessments. The school spends significantly more per student ($11,331 in 2020-2021) than the state average, which may indicate a need for more effective resource allocation. Compared to the nearby Campbell County Comprehensive High School, Jellico High School performs significantly worse on state assessments, particularly in subjects like Algebra II and US History.

Despite these challenges, Jellico High School's relatively strong performance for low socioeconomic status students suggests that addressing the unique needs of different student populations could be a key to improving academic outcomes. The school's inconsistent performance on state assessments also indicates a need for a more comprehensive and targeted approach to improving academic achievement. With a declining student population, the school and district may need to explore strategies to ensure effective resource utilization and program offerings to support student success.

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.
