Summary:
The 72641 zip code area is home to two schools, Jasper High School and Jasper Elementary School, which are part of the Jasper School District. The district is ranked 93 out of 250 school districts in Arkansas and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Jasper High School stands out as the stronger performing school, consistently ranking in the top 50-90 high schools in Arkansas over the past 3 school years and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. In contrast, Jasper Elementary School has ranked in the 147-181 range for elementary schools in the state, with a 3-4 star rating.
Both schools have high free/reduced lunch rates, indicating a relatively low-income student population, which could contribute to some of the academic challenges seen, especially at the elementary level. While spending per student is higher than the state average at both schools, this does not necessarily translate to stronger academic outcomes, particularly at the elementary level. The district as a whole has room for improvement, and identifying best practices from the high-performing high school and replicating them at the elementary level could be a strategy to raise the district's overall performance.
