Summary:
The Reading School District in Pennsylvania has only one high school, Reading Senior High School, which serves 5,213 students in grades 9-12. The school's statewide ranking has declined over the past three years, from 519 out of 634 schools in 2021-2022 to 597 out of 686 schools in 2023-2024, with a 1-star rating. The school's academic performance, as measured by Keystone Exam proficiency rates, is significantly lower than the state averages across all three subject areas (Algebra I, Biology, and Literature).
Reading Senior High School has a four-year graduation rate of 87.5% and a dropout rate of 1.6% for the 2022-2023 school year. However, the school serves a predominantly low-income student population, with 85.75% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. The student-teacher ratio for the school was 21.8 in the 2022-2023 school year, but the data does not provide any information about the school's spending per student for the 2021-2022 school year.
Overall, the data highlights the need for further investigation and analysis to understand the underlying factors contributing to the school's declining performance and the challenges it faces in serving its student population. Addressing the academic achievement gaps and the high concentration of poverty in the school community may be crucial areas for the district to focus on in order to improve the educational outcomes for students at Reading Senior High School.
