Frequently asked questions about Jefferson Parish Public Schools
How are the school ratings assigned?
The definition of a good school depends on your perception - while a
school with excellent sports facilities might be important for someone,
another might be looking that’s great at providing college preparation.
Test scores can be a good signal, but they also often just correlate
with family income. Moreover, each school district is a collection of
many different schools of varying quality. With the understanding that
any approach is going to be imperfect, we present publicly available
data from
Niche
, an independent site that rates schools and colleges. Niche assigns
every school a letter grade based on how it performs compared to all
other schools included in the ranking by using
a specific distribution of grades and standardized scores
, with A+ being the highest and D- being the lowest. It should go
without saying that this is a very high-level overview and you should do
additional research when choosing to buy a home based on the school
district.
