Juvenile Justice Alternative Educational Program

Summary:

Juvenile Justice Alternative Educational Program (JJAEP) is a small public high school in Fort Worth, Texas, serving grades 7-12 and part of the Fort Worth Independent School District (FWISD). With just 29 students, JJAEP has a unique student population and faces significant challenges compared to nearby schools.

JJAEP has a higher percentage of Hispanic (58.62%) and African American (31.03%) students than surrounding schools, and a high rate of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (72.73% to 82.35%), indicating economic disadvantage. The school's academic performance is also concerning, with STAAR EOC test scores in English I Reading (38%) and English II Reading (20%) falling well below FWISD and state averages. Dropout rates at JJAEP have fluctuated, ranging from 0% to 13.9%, generally higher than nearby schools like Paschal High School and Arlington Heights High School.

Despite these challenges, JJAEP has a very low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 1.8 to 5.4, suggesting a high level of individual attention and support. However, the school also has significantly higher spending per student ($66,427 in 2020-2021) compared to other schools in the district, more than double the typical amount. This specialized program likely serves a unique population of students involved in the juvenile justice system, contributing to the school's complex needs and resource requirements.

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.
