New Day Charter School

Summary:

New Day Charter School is a public charter high school located in Huntingdon, Pennsylvania, serving grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 176 students. The school has a predominantly white student population, but has seen a slight decrease in its white student population over the past few years.

Despite increased per-student spending, New Day Charter School has consistently underperformed compared to state averages on standardized tests, with 0% of students proficient or better in PSSA Math and only 12.5% proficient or better in PSSA English Language Arts. The school also struggles with low graduation rates (41.1%) and high dropout rates (7.3%), which are much worse than the state averages. Compared to nearby public high schools like Tyrone Area High School, which ranked 45th out of 674 Pennsylvania high schools, New Day Charter School ranked 643rd, indicating it is performing significantly below the state average.

While the overall performance of New Day Charter School is poor, the school has performed relatively better in serving its disabled student population, ranking 317th out of 502 Pennsylvania high schools for this subgroup. However, this positive finding does not outweigh the school's broader struggles, which suggest that significant changes may be needed to improve student outcomes and better serve the community of Huntingdon, Pennsylvania.

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.
