Tidioute Community Charter School

Summary:

Tidioute Community Charter School is an alternative public charter school located in Tidioute, Pennsylvania, serving grades PK-12 with a total enrollment of 292 students. This unique school has a focus on providing an alternative educational environment for its students.

The school has maintained relatively high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 87.0% to 90.4% in recent years, and low dropout rates, ranging from 0.7% to 1.6%. However, its academic performance, as measured by test scores, shows a mixed performance compared to the state averages, particularly in mathematics. Tidioute Community Charter School serves a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population, with an exceptionally high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 97.26% to 98.97% in recent years. The school's spending per student has been relatively high, ranging from $15,707 to $18,817 over the past few years, which may be due to the specialized services and resources required to support its alternative educational approach. The school has maintained a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 9.3 to 11.4 in recent years, suggesting it is able to provide more individualized attention and support to its students.

The school's ability to maintain high graduation rates despite serving a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population is a notable achievement, suggesting its alternative approach is effective in keeping students engaged and on track to complete their education. However, the school's uneven academic performance indicates the need to focus on improving student learning, particularly in mathematics. The high spending per student and the challenges faced by the school's economically disadvantaged student population may also require further investigation to ensure the school is utilizing its resources effectively and providing the necessary support to help these students succeed.

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.
