East Jasper Consolidated School District


Summary:

The East Jasper Consolidated School District in Mississippi operates three schools: William J Berry Elementary School, Heidelberg High School, and Heidelberg Junior High School. The district serves a predominantly African American student population, with all three schools reporting a 100% free and reduced lunch rate, indicating high levels of economic disadvantage.

Among the standout schools in the district, Heidelberg High School ranks 115 out of 228 Mississippi high schools and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The high school outperformed the state average in several key end-of-course assessments, including Algebra I, U.S. History, and Biology. In contrast, the district's elementary and middle schools struggled to meet the state's proficiency levels on the MAAP assessments, suggesting a need for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes.

Despite the academic challenges faced by the district, the schools maintain relatively low student-teacher ratios, ranging from 9.9 to 1 at the high school and junior high levels to 10.2 to 1 at the elementary school. This staffing advantage could be a potential asset in providing more individualized attention and support for students. However, the district's overall academic performance, particularly in the areas of English Language Arts and Science, indicates that there are opportunities for improvement, which may involve addressing the root causes of the district's challenges, such as resource allocation, instructional practices, or student support systems.
