Dr Robert Ketterer Charter School Inc

Summary:

Dr Robert Ketterer Charter School Inc is a public charter high school located in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, serving grades 6-12 with a total enrollment of 146 students. Despite its diverse student population, the school has consistently underperformed compared to nearby public high schools, ranking in the bottom half of Pennsylvania high schools and receiving a low 1-out-of-5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school's academic performance is a significant concern, with only 27.8% of students proficient or better in Algebra I, 27.8% in Biology, and 35.3% in Literature, compared to the state averages of 34.1%, 50.7%, and 65.3%, respectively. Additionally, the school has a relatively high dropout rate, ranging from 1.3% to 4.6% over the past five years, and a lower four-year graduation rate, fluctuating between 68.1% and 84.6% over the same period. These metrics are lower than the surrounding Greater Latrobe School District, Hempfield Area School District, and other nearby public high schools, such as Greater Latrobe Senior High School, Hempfield Area Senior High School, and River Valley High School.

Despite these challenges, the school has shown exceptional performance in serving its disabled student population, ranking 5 out of 502 Pennsylvania high schools in this area and receiving a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. However, the school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, ranging from 90.7% to 92.17% over the past three years, and its declining enrollment, may contribute to the overall academic struggles. The school's spending per student has increased in recent years, but it remains significantly lower than the nearby public high schools, which may also be a factor in the school's underperformance.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
