Coatesville Intermediate High School

Summary:

Coatesville Intermediate High School is a public secondary school in Coatesville, Pennsylvania, serving grades 8-9 with a total enrollment of 891 students. The school is part of the Coatesville Area School District, which is ranked 507 out of 610 school districts in Pennsylvania and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Coatesville Intermediate High School faces significant academic challenges, with proficiency rates in PSSA (Pennsylvania System of School Assessment) tests that are significantly lower than the state and district averages across all subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rate in PSSA Math for all grades was 7.4%, compared to the district's 21.5% and the state's 40.4%. The school's proficiency rates in PSSA Science and English Language Arts are also below the district and state averages, indicating a need for improvement in academic achievement. Additionally, the school has experienced fluctuating dropout rates, ranging from 0.9% to 2.7%, which are higher than the state's average.

The school's student population faces significant economic disadvantages, with an extremely high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 98.31% to 99.66% over the past three school years. While the school's spending per student has increased over the past few years, from $10,845 in 2018-2019 to $16,010 in 2021-2022, the academic performance has not shown a corresponding improvement, suggesting that the increased spending may not be effectively translating into better student outcomes. However, the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 15.5 to 17.8 over the past three school years, could be leveraged to provide more personalized attention and support for students, potentially leading to improved academic outcomes if implemented effectively.

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.
