Summary:

The Jim Thorpe Area School District in Pennsylvania is home to a single high school, Jim Thorpe Area High School, which serves grades 9-12. The school has an enrollment of 565 students and a student-teacher ratio of 13.8, slightly lower than the state average.

Jim Thorpe Area High School has shown mixed academic performance, with proficiency rates above the state average in Literature but below the state average in Algebra I and Biology. The school's four-year graduation rate of 87.5% is slightly below the state average, while its dropout rate of 1.6% is relatively low. The school's SchoolDigger ranking has declined over the past three years, from 275 out of 686 schools in 2023-2024 to 435 out of 674 schools in 2022-2023, indicating the need for improvement in certain areas.

Despite the school's relatively average performance, the data suggests opportunities for growth. The high proportion of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (44.96%) indicates the school may face socioeconomic challenges that could impact student learning. By focusing on areas such as increasing proficiency rates in Algebra I and Biology, and addressing the declining SchoolDigger ranking, the school may be able to enhance its overall academic performance and better serve its students.
