A C Jones High School

Summary:

A C Jones High School is a public high school located in Beeville, Texas, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 1,041 students. The school is part of the Beeville Independent School District, which is ranked 764 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

A C Jones High School faces several challenges, including a consistently low statewide ranking, ranging from 1,338 out of 1,961 in 2022-2023 to 1,251 out of 1,861 in 2020-2021, and a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating it is performing below average compared to other high schools in the state. The school's performance on STAAR End-of-Course (EOC) exams has been consistently lower than the state and district averages across various subjects, with the exception of U.S. History, where it has exceeded the state average in recent years. However, the school's African American students have consistently outperformed their peers across the state, ranking in the top 25 high schools in Texas for this subgroup.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Pettus Secondary and Skidmore-Tynan High School, A C Jones High School has generally underperformed in terms of statewide rankings, academic performance, and other key metrics. This suggests that the school may need to learn from the successful practices and strategies employed by these higher-performing schools to improve its own outcomes. Additionally, with a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, A C Jones High School faces significant challenges in providing the necessary resources and support to ensure the academic success of its students.

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.
