The Jackson Parish School System uses the School Health Index (SHI) to evaluate our health policies and practices. This tool helps each school determine ways to improve their support for healthy students in the areas of nutrition, physical activity and mental health. SHI contains 11 modules that measure different components of a school’s health and safety plan. The modules include the following:  School Health and Safety Policies and Environment, Health Education, Physical Education and Physical Activity Programs, Nutrition Environment and Services, School Health Services, School Counseling, Psychological, and Social Services, Social and Emotional Climate, Physical Environment, Employee Wellness and Health Promotion, Family Engagement and Community Involvement. The graphs and charts below show how each school in Jackson Parish performed in each module for the 2024-2025 school  year.  All of our schools are performing at the 80% or above level on each module. Each school also creates an improvement plan for their lowest scoring modules. If you have questions or need additional information about the School Health Index (SHI), please contact Bonnie Buckelew at 318-259-8802 or by email at bonnie.buckelew@jpsbschools.us.
