Summary

In all four categories, JHS is above state and national average on the STaR Chart.

Our campus leadership has done a fantastic job of ensuring infrastructure viability during the economic downturn.

Our campus has improved the TEA rating from Acceptable to Recognized with less funding.

We must however, address Teacher Preparation so we will be able to accomplish more for the students with existing technology.

We must also become more innovative and creative in our funding for future technology integration.
