Summary

Jasper Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 650 students in grades PK-4 in Jasper, Tennessee, which is part of the Marion County School District. While the school has relatively high spending per student and a student-teacher ratio slightly above the state average, its academic performance has been consistently below state and county averages across all grades and subjects, with particularly low proficiency in science.

Jasper Elementary School's test scores have been declining over the past few years, with the school's statewide ranking dropping from 319 out of 853 in 2013-2014 to 600 out of 1009 in 2024-2025. The school also struggles with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 18.9% to 24.8% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with African American students performing well but white students and special education students performing poorly.

Compared to nearby schools, Jasper Elementary School's performance is generally lower than the Monteagle Elementary and Whitwell Elementary schools in the Marion County district, which have higher test scores and better overall ratings. However, Jasper Elementary School outperforms some of the schools in the neighboring Hamilton County district, such as South Pittsburg Elementary and Red Bank Elementary, which have even lower test scores and ratings.

My daughter was enrolled for a short time, however we pulled her out. Her class was still doing letter identification in 2nd grade if that gives you an idea of how far behind students are on average. Close Quote
