Summary:
The Jubilee Academies district in Texas operates 13 schools serving 5,375 students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade. The district as a whole is ranked 854 out of 968 in Texas and is rated 1 star out of 5 by SchoolDigger, indicating significant room for improvement.
Within the district, a few schools stand out as performing better than others. Jubilee Brownsville, an alternative school, has the highest 4-year graduation rate at 95.9% and the lowest dropout rate at 0.2%. It also outperforms the district and state averages on many STAAR test proficiency metrics. Jubilee Living Way, an elementary school, ranks 1,602 out of 4,675 Texas elementary schools, the highest in the district, and has strong performance on STAAR reading, math, and science tests. Jubilee Leadership Academy, another elementary school, ranks 3,629 out of 4,675 and has high proficiency rates on STAAR reading and math tests.
However, the data also reveals significant variation in performance across the Jubilee Academies schools, with many struggling to meet state averages. The district serves a high-need population, with free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 74.28% to 96.67%, which likely contributes to the overall lower test scores. Additionally, the schools with the highest per-student spending do not necessarily have the best academic outcomes, suggesting that factors beyond just funding, such as school leadership and instructional practices, play a significant role in student success. The data highlights the need for the district to implement targeted interventions and support at the lower-performing schools to help raise academic achievement and close the gaps with state averages.
