Summary:
Jamestown Area School District in Pennsylvania has only one high school, Jamestown Area Junior/Senior High School, which serves students in grades 7-12. The school has a predominantly White student population, with low racial diversity, and a high percentage of students from low-income families. While the school boasts impressive graduation and dropout rates, its academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is generally below the district and state averages, particularly in Math.
Jamestown Area Junior/Senior High School's PSSA proficiency rates in Math (27.4%) are significantly lower than the district (40.3%) and state (39.3%) averages. However, the school's Science (59.4%) and English Language Arts (52%) proficiency rates are closer to, but still below, the district and state benchmarks. On the Keystone Exams, the school's performance is more mixed, with Algebra I proficiency (41.7%) matching the district average but exceeding the state average, while Literature proficiency (63.4%) is slightly below the state average.
Despite the academic challenges, Jamestown Area Junior/Senior High School has maintained a 100% four-year graduation rate and a 0% dropout rate, which are impressive achievements. The school's per-student spending of $14,890 and a student-to-teacher ratio of 10.7 to 1 suggest that the district is investing resources to support student success. However, the school's ranking and rating have fluctuated in recent years, indicating the need for continued improvement and a focus on addressing the academic performance gaps, particularly in Mathematics.
