Summary:
The Jacksonville Independent School District (ISD) in Texas has only one high school, Jacksonville High School, which serves grades 9-12. The school faces some academic performance challenges, with proficiency rates on state assessments generally lower than the Texas state averages across multiple subjects. However, the school maintains a relatively high graduation rate and low dropout rate compared to the state.
Jacksonville High School has an enrollment of 1,364 students, with a high proportion (77.2%) of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant socioeconomic need among the student population. The school's STAAR EOC proficiency rates range from 32.65% in Algebra I to 62.82% in U.S. History, compared to the state averages of 47.01% and 67.94%, respectively. Despite these academic performance concerns, the school's four-year graduation rate of 94.2% is slightly higher than the state average, and its dropout rate of 0.8% is lower than the state average.
The Jacksonville ISD also faces resource constraints, with per-student spending of $10,648, which is lower than the state average, and a student-teacher ratio of 15.7, slightly higher than the state average. These resource limitations may contribute to the academic performance challenges observed at Jacksonville High School. Overall, the data suggests that the school and district are working to support student success, but there are opportunities for improvement in academic achievement.
