Summary:
The Albert Gallatin Area School District in Pennsylvania has only one high school, Albert Gallatin Area Senior High School, which serves 964 students in grades 9-12. The school's student population is predominantly White (90.77%), with smaller percentages of African American, Hispanic, and Asian students. However, a significant majority (75.83%) of the students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage.
Academically, Albert Gallatin Area Senior High School faces challenges, with proficiency rates on the Keystone Exams lower than the state averages in Algebra I, Biology, and Literature. The school's performance is on par with the district-level scores, suggesting that the challenges are shared across the broader school district. Additionally, the school's 4-year graduation rate of 89.6% is slightly lower than the state average, and its dropout rate of 2.3% is higher than the state average.
Despite the higher-than-average per-student spending ($16,622) and a lower student-teacher ratio (15:1) compared to the state, the school's academic performance remains below state standards. This suggests that the school and district may need to examine how resources are being allocated and utilized to better support student learning and achievement, particularly for the economically disadvantaged population they serve.
