Jamestown Area School District


Summary:

The Jamestown Area School District in Pennsylvania operates two schools - Jamestown Area Junior/Senior High School and Jamestown Elementary School. While the elementary school is a standout performer, the high school appears to be underperforming compared to state averages.

Jamestown Elementary School excels academically, with significantly higher test scores than the district and state in subjects like science and English Language Arts. The school has a 100% proficiency rate in science across all grades, far exceeding the district and state averages. In contrast, Jamestown Area Junior/Senior High School struggles, with low math and English proficiency rates that fall below state benchmarks. The high school also has a lower 4-year graduation rate and a higher dropout rate compared to the state.

The data reveals a significant performance gap between the two schools, raising questions about resource allocation, instructional practices, and the impact of socioeconomic factors. Addressing this disparity could be a key priority for the Jamestown Area School District to ensure all students have access to a high-quality education and the opportunity to succeed.
