Summary:
The Jubilee Academies district contains one middle school, Jubilee School Of Innovation And Arts, serving grades 6 through 8 in San Antonio, TX, with a very small enrollment of just 69 students and a high rate of economic disadvantage at 92.75%.
The most striking story is the school's dramatic turnaround. In just two years, it jumped from a 0-star rating (5th percentile) to a 3-star rating (53rd percentile), a 48-percentile-point leap that places it in the top half of Texas middle schools. Reading is a clear strength, with 6th graders (60.87% proficient) outperforming both the district and state averages. Biology scores also saw massive improvement, rising from 18.18% to 52.63% in one year. The school benefits from a very low student-teacher ratio of 7.6:1, which allows for more individualized attention.
Despite these gains, significant challenges remain. The 8th grade Social Studies score is critically low at just 10% proficient, far below the state average of 31.69%. Mathematics, while improving, still lags behind state averages in most grades. Most concerning is the school's dropout rate of 3.6%, which is alarmingly high compared to the district average of 0.6%. This paradox—improving test scores alongside a high dropout rate—suggests the school is making progress with students who stay enrolled but may be struggling to retain others. Overall, Jubilee School Of Innovation And Arts is a school in the midst of a remarkable transformation, with clear strengths in reading and biology, but it must urgently address its weaknesses in social studies and student retention.
