Galeton Area School

Summary:

Galeton Area School is a public school in Galeton, Pennsylvania that serves grades PK-12 with a total enrollment of 325 students. The school has seen a slight decrease in White student enrollment over the past three years, but it still has a predominantly White student population.

Galeton Area School has faced some challenges, including fluctuating graduation rates that have ranged from a high of 90.9% in 2018-2019 to a low of 66.6% in 2020-2021. The school's current graduation rate of 84.0% is lower than the state average of 88.8%. Additionally, the school's performance on standardized tests has been mixed, with proficiency rates in PSSA Math and PSSA English Language Arts below the state averages, but a higher PSSA Science proficiency rate. The school has a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, which is significantly higher than the state average.

Despite these challenges, Galeton Area School has maintained a relatively low student-teacher ratio and has seen an increase in per-student spending over the past few years, suggesting that the school is effectively utilizing its resources to support student learning. By addressing the areas of concern and building on its strengths, the school can work towards improving the 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.
