Summary:
The Confluence, Pennsylvania school district consists of two schools - Turkeyfoot Valley Area Elementary School and Turkeyfoot Valley Area Junior/Senior High School. Both schools are underperforming compared to state averages, with low proficiency rates in math and English language arts. The student populations at these schools are predominantly white, with very little racial diversity.
Academically, the schools struggle, with math proficiency rates ranging from 0% to 23.6% and English language arts proficiency rates between 21.4% and 39.1%, all well below the state averages. Science proficiency is more mixed, with the elementary school scoring above the state average but the junior/senior high school scoring below. Graduation rates at the high school are relatively high at 94.4%, but the district spends over $20,000 per student with low student-teacher ratios, suggesting that factors beyond just funding and staffing may be contributing to the poor academic performance.
The high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, reaching 100% at the elementary school, indicate that the Turkeyfoot Valley Area School District may be facing significant socioeconomic challenges that could be impacting student learning and achievement. Overall, the data highlights the need for the district to develop targeted interventions and strategies to address the consistently low academic performance across both schools.
