Brookville Junior/Senior High School performs well above the state average in several key academic areas, including PSSA/Science proficiency, PSSA/English Language Arts proficiency, and Keystone Exams/Literature proficiency.

The school's male students rank 29 out of 662 Pennsylvania high schools, with a 5-star rating, while female students rank 239 out of 665 Pennsylvania high schools, with a 3-star rating, suggesting a potential gender gap in academic achievement.

Despite having a relatively high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients (49.5%), Brookville Junior/Senior High School's low socioeconomic status students perform well, ranking 97 out of 664 Pennsylvania high schools. The school's high spending per student ($16,467) and low student-teacher ratio (11.7) suggest a strong commitment to providing quality education and resources to its students. Overall, Brookville Junior/Senior High School is a strong-performing school, but it could focus on improving its PSSA/Math performance and addressing the potential gender gap in academic achievement.

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.

Open Quote This school district struggles to teach students. They have poor communication with parents regardless of the issue or promotion. They have teachers who have favorites and bully those who aren't. Bullies aren't dealt with, but if your child accidentally leaves their phone volume on or walks too fast to get to their next class, they will be punished or yelled at. Close Quote

Open Quote There is a great amount of exceptional students - both personality and academically based... and hard working teachers. Administration needs to become stable and the district will grow even more. Close Quote

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.
