Summary:
Jefferson County-DuBois AVTS is the sole public high school serving grades 9-12 in the Jefferson County-DuBois area, with a total enrollment of 535 students. While the school has faced some academic challenges, including low proficiency rates on state assessments, it also serves a student population with significant socioeconomic disadvantages.
The Jefferson County-DuBois AVTS ranked 565 out of 674 Pennsylvania high schools for the 2022-2023 school year and was rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger. The school's academic performance, as measured by Keystone Exam proficiency rates, is significantly below the statewide averages in all three subject areas (Algebra I, Biology, and Literature). This suggests that the school may need to focus on improving its instructional practices and student support to better prepare students for these assessments.
Additionally, the school serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, with 98.32% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This high percentage of economically disadvantaged students may contribute to the academic performance issues and require additional resources and support to address their needs. The school's student population is also predominantly white, with a relatively low percentage of minority students, which may limit the diversity of perspectives and experiences available to the students.
