Summary:
The Avella Area School District in Pennsylvania has a single high school, Avella Area Junior/Senior High School, which serves students in grades 7-12. The school's performance has remained relatively consistent over the past three years, with a statewide ranking between 236 and 335 out of 686 Pennsylvania high schools and a 3-out-of-5-star SchoolDigger rating.
Academically, Avella Area Junior/Senior High School has shown some strengths, with proficiency rates in PSSA/Science and certain Keystone Exam subjects like Algebra I, Biology, and Literature exceeding the state averages. However, the school's proficiency rates in PSSA/Math and PSSA/English Language Arts are below the state averages, indicating potential areas for improvement. The school's four-year graduation rate of 87.5% is slightly below the state average, while its dropout rate of 1.6% is lower than the state average.
Demographic and financial factors suggest that the school serves a population with relatively lower socioeconomic status, as indicated by the high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (35.68%). Despite this, the school's per-student spending is higher than the state average, and it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 8.6 to 1, which may indicate smaller class sizes and more individualized attention for students.
