Jeannette High School

Summary:

Jeannette High School is a public high school serving grades 7-12 in the Jeannette City School District in Jeannette, Pennsylvania. With 422 students, the school is ranked 438 out of 686 Pennsylvania high schools and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Jeannette High School faces significant academic challenges, particularly in the areas of math and science proficiency, which are well below state averages. The school's performance on the PSSA and Keystone Exams is consistently weaker than the state average across all subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates in Math (26%), Science (38.4%), and Literature (59.6%) were all below the state averages. The school's four-year graduation rate has also been slightly below the state average in recent years, while its dropout rate has been higher. However, the school's performance for certain student subgroups, such as low-income students and students with disabilities, is relatively stronger compared to the overall student population.

Compared to nearby high-performing schools, such as Mount Pleasant Area High School, Norwin High School, and Penn-Trafford High School, Jeannette High School has room for improvement in terms of test scores, graduation rates, and overall academic outcomes. The school's high percentage of low-income students, which was 84.6% in 2022-2023, appears to be a key factor contributing to its academic performance. Additionally, the school's fluctuating spending and student-teacher ratios may be impacting its ability to provide the necessary resources and support 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.
