Summary:
Jasper Independent School District (ISD) in Texas is home to a single high school, Jasper High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. Despite having relatively favorable resource allocation, with above-average spending per student and a favorable student-teacher ratio, the school faces significant academic performance challenges compared to state averages.
Jasper High School's diverse student population includes 36.27% White, 37.3% African American, and 22.61% Hispanic students. However, the school's STAAR EOC proficiency rates lag behind state averages across all subjects, including Algebra I, Biology, English I and II Reading, and U.S. History. This persistent academic underperformance suggests the school may struggle to provide a high-quality education and adequately prepare students for success. The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 76.36% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, likely contributes to these academic challenges and highlights the need for targeted interventions and support.
Despite these academic performance issues, Jasper High School maintains a strong four-year graduation rate of 98.1% and a low dropout rate of 0.4%. While the school's resource allocation appears favorable, the data suggests the resources may not be effectively utilized or allocated to address the specific needs of the student population. Addressing these persistent challenges will require a comprehensive and sustained approach to improve student outcomes and ensure all students in Jasper Independent School District (Isd) receive a high-quality education.
