Summary

Jasper Junior High School is a public middle school serving 435 students in grades 7-8 in Jasper, Alabama, part of the Jasper City school district. The school has consistently ranked in the top 20-30% of middle schools in Alabama, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Jasper Junior High School stands out for its strong academic performance, consistently outperforming the state average in proficiency rates across all subject areas for both 7th and 8th grades. The school's English proficiency rates are particularly impressive, with 63-71% of students scoring proficient or better, compared to the state average of 49-57%. In mathematics, Jasper Junior High School's proficiency rates also exceed the state average, ranging from 24-36% compared to 21-25%. The school performs exceptionally well for its African American students, ranking in the top 20-25% of Alabama middle schools for this subgroup, as well as for its White and Special Education student populations, ranking in the top 50 middle schools in the state.

While Jasper Junior High School's performance is noteworthy, the school's chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 11.6% to 17.9% over the past few years, is an area of concern, as it is higher than the state average. Interestingly, the school's spending per student ($6,596 in 2018-2019) is lower than the nearby Maddox Intermediate School ($8,476), suggesting that Jasper Junior High School is able to achieve its strong academic performance with relatively lower per-student funding compared to some of its peers.
