Jasper Elementary School

Summary:

Jasper Elementary School is a public elementary school in Jasper, Tennessee, serving 629 students in grades PK-4 as part of the Marion County School District. While the school has a significantly higher percentage of white students compared to the state and nearby schools, its academic performance, as measured by test scores, is generally below state and district averages.

Jasper Elementary's proficiency rates in Math, ELA, and Science were 39.4%, 41.3%, and 37.2% respectively in 2023-2024, compared to state averages of 39.7%, 37.6%, and 44%. The school's performance varies significantly across different student groups, with African American students performing well but white students and students with special needs performing much lower. Jasper Elementary's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, ranging from 319th out of 853 Tennessee elementary schools in 2013-2014 to 749th out of 1,020 in 2022-2023, placing it in the bottom half of Tennessee elementary schools.

While Jasper Elementary has a significant percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, the school's performance for this student group is better than its overall performance. However, the increased per-student spending at the school over the years has not translated into significant improvements in academic performance. Compared to nearby schools in the Marion County district, such as Monteagle Elementary and Whitwell Elementary, Jasper Elementary's performance is generally lower, with lower academic proficiency rates and worse statewide rankings.

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.

Open Quote My daughter was enrolled for a short time, however we pulled her out. Her class was still doing letter identification in 2nd grade if that gives you an idea of how far behind students are on average. Close Quote

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.
