The high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (55.33%) at J.T.

Despite the relatively high spending per student ($19,878) and a favorable student-teacher ratio of 13.3 to 1, the school's resources may not be effectively utilized or targeted to address the specific needs of its students. The school's performance indicates that it may require additional support and resources to improve student outcomes and close the achievement gap with the district and state averages.
