Jeannette City School District

The Jeannette City School District consists of two schools: Jeannette McKee Elementary School and Jeannette High School. The district faces significant socioeconomic challenges, with both schools having high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

At the elementary school level, Jeannette McKee Elementary School's performance on PSSA tests is generally below the state average, with proficiency rates ranging from 16% to 61% across different grade levels and subjects. However, the school's science proficiency rates are higher than the district and state averages. In contrast, Jeannette High School's performance on Keystone Exams is mixed, with higher proficiency rates in Literature (59.6%) compared to Algebra I (49%) and Biology (26.5%). The high school's PSSA English Language Arts proficiency rates are above the district and state averages.

The data also reveals disparities in resource allocation, with Jeannette High School spending more per student ($20,316) compared to Jeannette McKee Elementary School ($16,161). The student-teacher ratios are relatively small at both schools, with 10.2 at the elementary school and 13.5 at the high school. These findings suggest that the Jeannette City School District may benefit from targeted interventions and resource allocation strategies to address the academic and socioeconomic challenges faced by its students.
