Best Public Schools in Nanty Glo, PA


Summary:

The city of Nanty Glo, Pennsylvania is home to two schools - Blacklick Valley Elementary Center and Blacklick Valley Junior/Senior High School, both part of the Blacklick Valley School District. The data reveals a stark contrast between the two schools, with the elementary school serving a significantly higher-need student population but demonstrating stronger academic performance in certain areas.

Blacklick Valley Elementary Center stands out for its relatively high proficiency rates in PSSA Science and 4th grade PSSA Math, outperforming the district and state averages. However, the school also has an exceptionally high percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients at 99.69%, indicating a very high-need student population. In contrast, Blacklick Valley Junior/Senior High School has a lower, but still significant, free/reduced lunch rate of 73.4%, and it boasts a strong 4-year graduation rate of 87.5% and a low dropout rate of 1.6%.

Both schools have relatively low student-teacher ratios, which could be a positive factor in providing more individualized attention and support for students. The data also suggests that the elementary school may be more effective in delivering science and math instruction, an area that the junior/senior high school could potentially focus on to improve student outcomes. Overall, the schools in Nanty Glo present a complex picture, with the elementary school serving a high-need population but demonstrating academic strengths, while the junior/senior high school maintains positive graduation and dropout rates.
