Summary
Jasper High School is a 9–12 public high school with 1,103 students in Jasper, Indiana, the largest high school in its area and part of Greater Jasper Consolidated Schools.
By state standards, most outcomes here look strong. The school ranks 90th of 415 Indiana high schools (78th percentile, 4 stars), while its district ranks 46th of 374 (88th percentile, 4 stars). The graduation rate is 96.9%, well above Indiana's 89.7%, and only 7.8% of students are chronically absent, compared with 16.7% statewide. SAT scores also beat state averages: 59.42 in Evidence-Based Reading and Writing and 35.14 in Math, versus 51.90 and 25.60 statewide.
Locally, though, Jasper sits mid-pack in a cluster of high-performing schools. Barr Reeve Middle/High School, Heritage Hills High School, and Forest Park Junior-Senior High School all rank higher overall and generally score better on reading, math, and biology. The clearest weak spot is the Biology end-of-course exam: Jasper's 30.94 is below its own district's 40.76 and far below Loogootee (70.45), Heritage Hills (64.48), and Barr Reeve (62.67). Only Southridge High School (26.47) is lower. Jasper spends $11,407 per student and has a student–teacher ratio of 17.4 — higher than every nearby school except Southridge — yet several higher-spending neighbors do not outperform it overall.
Results also vary by student group. Jasper ranks in the 86th percentile for its White students, 79th for male students, and 76th for female students, and about average (51st percentile, 3 stars) for low-income students, but lower for Hispanic students (33rd percentile), English Language Learners (27th), and Special Education students (14th) — a sharp drop from 45th percentile the year before. The school has held 4 stars recently after earning 5 stars in 2015–2016 and 2017–2018, so it remains stable but below its historical peak.
