Summary:
Jasper Independent School District (ISD) in Texas has only one high school, Jasper High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 25% of Texas high schools over the past three years, maintaining a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Despite its low statewide ranking and below-average test scores, particularly in Algebra I, Jasper High School has a strong 98.1% 4-year graduation rate and a very low 0.1% dropout rate. The school serves a predominantly low-income student population, with 79.35% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Jasper High School's per-student spending is above the state average, and it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13:1, suggesting the district is investing resources into the school.
While Jasper High School's academic performance is a concern, the school's strengths include its high graduation rate and low dropout rate, indicating that it is effectively supporting its students to complete their high school education. The district and school should focus on identifying and addressing the root causes of the low test scores, particularly in core subject areas, to improve the school's overall academic outcomes.
