High Schools in New Kensington-Arnold School District


Summary:

The New Kensington-Arnold School District in Pennsylvania has only one high school, Valley Junior/Senior High School, which serves students in grades 7-12. The school's academic performance has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Pennsylvania high schools, with significantly lower proficiency rates on standardized tests compared to state averages.

Valley Junior/Senior High School faces several challenges, including a high percentage of students (89.99%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. 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 overall district ranking of 537 out of 610 in Pennsylvania and a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger suggest that the district as a whole is facing significant challenges in providing quality education to its students.

While the data paints a concerning picture of Valley Junior/Senior High School's performance, it also highlights areas where targeted interventions and support could potentially lead to improvements. Addressing the school's academic deficiencies, supporting its economically disadvantaged student population, and improving the overall district-level performance could be important steps in enhancing the educational outcomes for the students in this community.
