Summary:
The Franklin Area Junior/Senior High School is the sole high school serving the Franklin Area School District in Pennsylvania. The school has a graduation rate of 87.5% and a relatively low dropout rate of 1.6%, which are positive indicators. However, the school's performance on PSSA Math tests is below the district and state averages, while its PSSA Science and English Language Arts scores are more mixed, with some grades performing above the district average but below the state average.
One notable aspect of the school is its high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 84.29%, suggesting a significant level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Despite this, the school's spending per student is higher than the state average, and it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 15.1, indicating that the district is investing resources into the school. The school's stronger performance on Keystone Exams, particularly in Algebra I, Biology, and Literature, suggests that it is able to effectively support student learning in certain subject areas.
Overall, the Franklin Area Junior/Senior High School appears to be performing reasonably well, with some areas of strength and areas for improvement. The school's economic demographics and the district's investment in resources may be important factors in understanding its performance and supporting student success.
