High Schools in Jeannette City School District

The Jeannette City School District in Pennsylvania is home to a single high school, Jeannette High School, which serves grades 9-12. Based on the available data, Jeannette High School appears to be a relatively low-performing school within the state, with a declining statewide ranking and academic performance that is generally below the state averages.

Jeannette High School's four-year graduation rate of 87.5% is slightly below the state average, and its dropout rate of 1.6% is relatively low. However, the school's test scores are generally below state averages across various PSSA and Keystone Exam subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates were 26% in PSSA Math, 38.4% in PSSA Science, and 54.6% in PSSA English Language Arts, compared to state averages of 40.4%, 65.8%, and 53%, respectively. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has fluctuated between 406 and 473 out of 634-686 high schools in the state over the past three school years, and it is rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance.

Despite the relatively high per-student spending of $20,316 in the 2021-2022 school year, which is higher than the state average, Jeannette High School's academic performance remains below par. This suggests that simply spending more money may not be the sole solution to improving educational outcomes. The school also serves a predominantly low-income student population, with 84.6% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which may present unique challenges and require targeted interventions to address the underlying factors contributing to the school's academic performance.
