JCHS Earns a Top 25 Ranking in State Test Scores
When the school report cards were released late Tuesday night, JCHS had a lot to celebrate, and students were excited to see their hard work had paid off as the school narrowly missed being designated a BLUE school (the highest possible) and was ranked as a Top 25 high school in the state of Kentucky.
Testing Coordinator Nicki Caudill said, “Our overall academic index increased and we were at 80.6 overall, which was the highest public county high school in the area, and the second highest when compared to public and independent schools.” (Pikeville was the only school ranked higher.) Caudill continued, “When you look at how our students did across the board, we really have a lot to celebrate, and we are so proud of our students and faculty.”
Last year, JCHS was a “Yellow” school with an overall score of 66.3, which means an increase of almost 14 points from year to year. This year the scores were as follows:
Overall Indicator
80.6
Reading Indicator
73.3
Math Indicator
61.1
Science Indicator
39.6
Social Studies Indicator
57.9
Writing Indicator
68.8
Post secondary readiness indicator
100.2
Graduation Rate
95.5
School Climate and Safety
67.2
Rank in State of 228 High Schools
25
Based on last year’s report card, JCHS had increased their reading indicator by 6 points, their math by 6 points, science by 5 points, social studies by 17 points, writing by 10 points, post secondary readiness by 10 points, graduation rate by 1 points, and school climate by 2 points.
Principal Justin Arms said he was thrilled to see so many of the school’s initiatives paying off. “First, the students did a tremendous job with their assessments. This is our first testing cycle having two RTI instructors in place to assist our math and reading students who are struggling. Ms. Austin and Mrs. Hicks do an excellent job of not only helping individual students but also co-teaching and providing interventions for the teachers who have students struggling. Our post secondary readiness was over 100. Two years ago, Ms. Amanda Austin became our transition coordinator and has worked closely with both CTE staff and core teachers. This work was to help ensure all students were prepped and tested in their correct area of need. It is phenomenal to see our score of 100.2 and know that we have so many of our students ready for either college or the workforce. Last but certainly not least, our teachers have dug in hard the past year working in PLCs, and thanks to Mrs. Garner’s creation of the JCHS data dashboard they can use MAP and ACT data to drive instruction. I feel these scores reflect their nonstop effort. Overall, I’m extremely pleased and grateful to have the opportunity to work alongside so many wonderful educators. The students’ results are a testament to the overall investment at JCHS.”
The Top 25 ranking will not slow the Eagles down though. Amiee Cantrell-Webb, JCHS curriculum director, summed it up best when she said, “We know we are a great school. We run an entire vocational school and a dual credit academy in house, not to mention we offer more AP than anyone east of Lexington, so JCHS is literally three schools in one. You will not find that anywhere else, so seeing these test scores, which is literally just a snapshot of what we do, helps paint the bigger picture of what we are about - opportunity, growth, and success.”
