Summary:
The Aliquippa School District in Pennsylvania contains only one high school, Aliquippa Junior/Senior High School, which has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing high schools in the state. Despite spending significantly more per student than the state average, the school's academic performance remains very poor, with low graduation rates, test scores well below state averages, and a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
Aliquippa Junior/Senior High School has been rated 0 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, indicating an overall poor performance. The school's four-year graduation rate of 87.5% is slightly below the state average, and its dropout rate of 1.6% is relatively low. However, the school's standardized test scores are alarmingly low, with only 4.6% of students proficient or better in PSSA/Math and 4.3% proficient or better in Keystone Exams for Algebra I and Biology.
The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 87.55%, suggests that the school serves a population with a high level of economic disadvantage, which may be a contributing factor to the school's low academic performance. Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.3 to 1, this advantage does not appear to be translating into improved student outcomes, indicating that other factors, such as the quality of instruction, school leadership, and support services, may be more important in driving student success.
