Jarrell High School

Summary:

Jarrell High School is a public high school serving 868 students in grades 9-12 in Jarrell, Texas, which is part of the Salado Independent School District. While the school has a diverse student population, with a higher percentage of Hispanic students compared to the state average, it faces several academic challenges, including lower-than-average performance on standardized tests and fluctuating graduation and dropout rates.

Jarrell High School's academic performance, as measured by STAAR EOC test scores, is consistently below the state and district averages across all subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates in Algebra I (26.27%), English I Reading (50.17%), and U.S. History (55.02%) were significantly lower than the state averages. Additionally, the school's four-year graduation rate has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 88.7% in 2020-2021 to 97.4% in 2019-2020, but remains below the state average. The school's dropout rate has also fluctuated, ranging from 0.0% in 2018-2019 to 2.1% in 2020-2021, which is higher than the state average.

When compared to nearby high schools, such as Salado High School, Georgetown High School, and Holland High School, Jarrell High School lags behind in academic performance, graduation rates, and overall school rankings, suggesting the need for targeted interventions and collaboration with these higher-performing schools to identify and implement best practices. The school's diverse student population and the need for these improvements present both challenges and opportunities for the Jarrell community.

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.
