Coatesville Intermediate High School

Summary:

Coatesville Intermediate High School is a public alternative school serving grades 8-9 in the Coatesville Area School District in Pennsylvania, with a student population of 891 as of the 2022-2023 school year. The school faces significant challenges, with consistently low academic performance, high poverty levels, and underperformance compared to nearby charter schools.

Coatesville Intermediate High School's academic performance, as measured by PSSA test scores, is significantly lower than the state averages across all subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2022-2023, only 5.9% of students were proficient or better in PSSA Math, compared to the state average of 39.3%. The school's performance in PSSA Science and English Language Arts is also below the state averages, with 32.7% and 27.7% proficiency rates, respectively. This pattern of underperformance has been consistent over the past few years. Despite the school's relatively low dropout rates, the extremely high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 98.31% to 99.66% over the past three school years, indicates a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

When compared to nearby charter schools, such as Renaissance Academy Charter School, Pennsylvania Leadership Charter School, Avon Grove Charter School, and Collegium Charter School, Coatesville Intermediate High School's academic performance and other key metrics are significantly lower. The charter schools generally outperform Coatesville Intermediate High School across various measures, including test scores, graduation rates, and dropout rates. Addressing the challenges at Coatesville Intermediate High School will require a comprehensive approach, including targeted interventions, resource allocation, and collaboration with the community to support the academic and social-emotional needs of the students.

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.
