Jubilee Leadership Academy

Summary:

Jubilee Leadership Academy is a public charter elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Brownsville, Texas, with a student population of 471. The school is part of the Jubilee Academies district, which is ranked 854 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Jubilee Leadership Academy faces significant challenges compared to the nearby public schools, such as Perez Elementary, Burns Elementary, and Paredes Elementary. The school has a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (96.39%) and a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (90.96% to 94.87%), which is higher than the nearby public schools. Academically, Jubilee Leadership Academy's performance, as measured by STAAR test scores, is generally lower than the nearby public schools and the state averages across most grade levels and subjects.

While Jubilee Leadership Academy has increased its spending per student and maintained a relatively low student-teacher ratio, these factors alone do not appear to be sufficient to overcome the academic gaps. The school's consistently low academic performance, particularly in reading and mathematics, suggests that the school may need to focus on improving instructional practices, curriculum, and support for struggling students, especially those from economically disadvantaged and English Language Learner backgrounds.

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.
