Summary:
The city of Reynoldsville, Pennsylvania is home to two schools - Jefferson County-DuBois AVTS, a high school, and C G Johnson Elementary School. These schools serve a predominantly low-income student population, with over 98% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.
While C G Johnson Elementary stands out for its strong academic performance, particularly in 3rd grade PSSA tests, the high school Jefferson County-DuBois AVTS struggles, with low proficiency rates on Keystone Exams compared to state averages and a relatively low 4-year graduation rate of 89%. This contrast suggests that effective teaching practices and support systems at the elementary school level may be contributing to its academic success, despite the challenges faced by the broader community.
Overall, the data paints a mixed picture of the schools in Reynoldsville, with one elementary school performing well academically and the high school lagging behind state standards. Further investigation into the factors contributing to these differences, such as the high student-teacher ratio at C G Johnson Elementary, could provide valuable insights for improving educational outcomes across the DuBois Area School District and the Jefferson County-DuBois AVTS district.
