Jonesborough Middle School

Summary:

Jonesborough Middle School is a public middle school in Jonesborough, Tennessee, serving 416 students in grades 5-8. The school is part of the Washington County School District, which is ranked 40 out of 140 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

While Jonesborough Middle School has a significantly higher percentage of white students (82.45%) compared to the state average for middle schools, its academic performance, as measured by TNReady test scores, is generally below the state and district averages across all subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2022-2023, the school's proficiency rates in Mathematics (33.8%), English Language Arts (31.3%), and Science (31.8%) were all lower than the state averages. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, ranking in the bottom quartile of Tennessee middle schools for White students, Special Education students, and Low Socioeconomic Status students.

Jonesborough Middle School's academic performance has declined over the past few years, and the gaps between the school and state/district averages have grown larger, particularly for student subgroups. Compared to nearby middle schools, such as Chuckey Doak Middle School, T.A. Dugger Junior High School, and the two Johnson City middle schools, Jonesborough Middle School has lower proficiency rates, weaker rankings, and poorer SchoolDigger ratings. These challenges may be influenced by the school's high percentage of white students, relatively low spending per student, and higher student-teacher ratio compared to nearby schools.

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.
