Brookville Junior/Senior High School

Summary:

Brookville Junior/Senior High School is a public high school serving grades 7-12 in Brookville, Pennsylvania, with a student population of 602. The school is part of the DuBois Area School District, which is ranked 197 out of 606 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Brookville Junior/Senior High School has seen steady improvement in its statewide ranking and SchoolDigger rating, moving from a 2-star rating in 2014-2015 to a 4-star rating in the current school year. The school boasts high graduation rates, ranging from 90.7% to 96.3% over the past 5 years, and low dropout rates, ranging from 0.3% to 1.3%. However, the school's academic performance in PSSA Math and English Language Arts proficiency rates lags behind the district and state averages, as well as some nearby schools like Brockway Area Junior/Senior High School and Clarion-Limestone Area Junior/Senior High School. Conversely, Brookville Junior/Senior High School outperforms the state averages in Keystone Exams for Algebra I, Biology, and Literature.

Another interesting factor is the school's predominantly white student population, with 95.51% of students identifying as white, which is significantly higher than the state average and nearby schools. Additionally, Brookville Junior/Senior High School ranks 50 out of 652 Pennsylvania high schools for its low socioeconomic status (SES) student population, indicating that the school is serving a relatively disadvantaged student population compared to the state. Despite these challenges, the school's increased per-student spending, from $14,336 in 2018-2019 to $16,467 in 2021-2022, may have contributed to its improved performance and ranking over the years.

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 Brookville Area High School is a great school, nice teachers great selection of food for the kids and a great place to learn they also after lunch if your kid is in seventh grade can hang out in the lobby with his/her friends for about 15-20 min overall i think the Brookville area School District is a great place to have your kids to learn and have fun with his/her friends.

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.
