Summary:
The Blacklick Valley Junior/Senior High School is the sole high school serving the Blacklick Valley School District in Pennsylvania. While the school has some strengths, such as a small student-teacher ratio and higher-than-average per-student spending, its academic performance on standardized tests is generally below the state average, with fluctuating statewide rankings in recent years.
The school's proficiency rates in PSSA Math (24.3%) and PSSA English Language Arts (43.9%) are lower than the state averages of 40.4% and 53%, respectively. However, the school's performance on Keystone Exams is more mixed, with 50.1% proficiency in Algebra I, 37.5% in Biology, and 44.4% in Literature, compared to state averages of 41.6%, 50.5%, and 63.2%, respectively. The school's four-year graduation rate of 87.5% is slightly below the state average, but its dropout rate of 1.6% is relatively low.
The school serves a relatively low-income student population, with 73.4% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This socioeconomic challenge may contribute to the school's academic performance, but the school's small class sizes and higher-than-average per-student spending suggest that it is investing resources in providing a more personalized and supportive learning environment for its students. Further analysis and targeted interventions may be needed to address the school's areas of concern and help improve student outcomes.
