Conemaugh Valley Junior/Senior High School

Summary:

Conemaugh Valley Junior/Senior High School is a public school serving grades 7-12 in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, part of the Conemaugh Valley School District. The school faces some challenges, with student performance generally below state averages on standardized tests, but it has maintained relatively high graduation and low dropout rates.

Conemaugh Valley's student population is predominantly economically disadvantaged, with 85-95% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. This high rate of poverty likely contributes to the school's academic struggles, as it performs lower than nearby schools like United Junior/Senior High School, Richland High School, and Conemaugh Township Area Middle School/Senior High School, which have higher state rankings and better student outcomes. However, Conemaugh Valley does outperform some other nearby schools, such as Blacklick Valley Junior/Senior High School and Greater Johnstown Senior High School.

Despite the challenges, Conemaugh Valley has seen some recent improvements, with its 2023-2024 ranking rising to 301st out of Pennsylvania high schools, and the school outperforming the state in certain subject areas like 8th grade Science and 11th grade Biology. Additionally, the school maintains a relatively low student-to-teacher ratio and spends a high amount per student, suggesting a commitment to supporting its students. While Conemaugh Valley faces significant hurdles, these positive trends indicate that the school is working to address its challenges and improve educational outcomes for its 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.
