Cameron County Junior/Senior High School

Summary:

Cameron County Junior/Senior High School is a public high school located in Emporium, Pennsylvania, serving grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 170 students. The school is part of the Cameron County School District, which is ranked 65 out of 610 districts in Pennsylvania and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Cameron County Junior/Senior High School has shown a significant improvement in its statewide ranking over the past few years, moving from a low of 487 out of 693 Pennsylvania high schools in 2018-2019 to a high of 96 out of 686 in the current 2023-2024 school year. The school's performance on standardized tests, such as the PSSA and Keystone Exams, is generally above the state and district averages, particularly in science and English language arts. Additionally, the school has maintained a high four-year graduation rate and a relatively low dropout rate. Compared to the nearby St. Marys Area Senior High School and Austin Area Junior/Senior High School, Cameron County Junior/Senior High School generally performs better on standardized tests, particularly in science and English language arts.

However, the school has also experienced some fluctuations in its performance, particularly in the 2021-2022 and 2020-2021 school years, when its ranking and proficiency rates dipped. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, which could present challenges. Despite this, the school has been able to achieve strong academic performance, particularly among its low socioeconomic status student subgroup, which ranked in the top 6% of Pennsylvania high schools in 2023-2024. This suggests that the school may have effective strategies in place to support and engage students from disadvantaged backgrounds, which could be valuable for other schools facing similar challenges.

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.
