Connellsville Area Career & Technical Center


Summary:

The Connellsville Area Career & Technical Center is the sole public high school serving grades 9-12 in the Connellsville area, with a total enrollment of 343 students. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Pennsylvania high schools for the past three years, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance.

The school's four-year graduation rate of 87.5% is slightly below the state average, and its dropout rate of 1.6% is slightly higher. Academically, the school's proficiency rates on the Keystone Exams are significantly lower than the state averages across all three subject areas (Algebra I, Biology, and Literature), with gaps ranging from 26.9 percentage points in Literature to 26.9 percentage points in Algebra I. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students (60.64%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population.

The combination of low academic performance, high rates of economic disadvantage, and a slightly higher student-teacher ratio of 15.9 may indicate a need for targeted interventions and additional resources to support student learning and success at the Connellsville Area Career & Technical Center. The school's persistent challenges in academic achievement suggest that the district may need to focus on improving its curriculum, instructional practices, and support for students in these core subject areas.
