Summary:
The Juniata Valley School District in Pennsylvania has only one high school, Juniata Valley Junior/Senior High School, which serves students in grades 7-12. The school's performance has declined over the past three years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 383 out of 634 Pennsylvania high schools in 2021-2022 to 516 out of 686 in 2023-2024.
Juniata Valley Junior/Senior High School's proficiency rates on PSSA and Keystone Exams are generally below the state averages, particularly in math and science. 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 has a higher percentage of students (34.97%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-income families.
Despite the district's investment in resources, with the school's per-student spending being higher than the state average and a lower student-teacher ratio, the academic performance of Juniata Valley Junior/Senior High School remains a concern. Addressing these challenges may require a closer examination of the school's instructional practices, curriculum, and support systems, as well as a deeper understanding of the socioeconomic factors impacting the student population.
