Jefferson County-DuBois Area Vocational-Technical School

Summary:

Jefferson County-DuBois AVTS is a public high school located in Reynoldsville, PA, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 535 students. The school is part of the DuBois Area School District, which is ranked 535 out of 606 districts in Pennsylvania and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Jefferson County-DuBois AVTS has a significantly higher percentage of white students (95.7%) compared to the state average, and a very low-income student population with 98.32% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. The school's academic performance, as measured by Keystone Exam proficiency rates, is significantly lower than the state averages in Algebra I, Biology, and Literature. This trend has been consistent over the past few years, and the school's four-year graduation rate of around 90% is slightly lower than the state average. Nearby high schools, such as Punxsutawney Area High School, Brockway Area Junior/Senior High School, and Brookville Junior/Senior High School, generally outperform Jefferson County-DuBois AVTS in academic measures, graduation rates, and overall school rankings.

The extremely high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, coupled with the school's low ranking and performance, suggests that Jefferson County-DuBois AVTS may be facing significant challenges related to poverty and limited resources. The school's declining statewide ranking, from 310 out of 537 high schools in 2020-2021 to 565 out of 674 high schools in 2022-2023, indicates that the school's performance is not keeping pace with other schools in the state, and targeted interventions and additional resources may be needed to support student success.

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.
