Sullivan County Junior/Senior High School

Summary:

Sullivan County Junior/Senior High School is a public high school located in Laporte, Pennsylvania, serving grades 7-12 with 287 students enrolled. The school is part of the Sullivan County School District, which is ranked 344 out of 610 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school's performance has been inconsistent, with its statewide ranking fluctuating from as high as 36th out of 634 Pennsylvania high schools in 2021-2022 to as low as 422nd out of 674 in 2022-2023. This variability suggests the school's academic achievement may not be stable over time. Additionally, there are significant disparities in performance between different student subgroups, with female students outperforming male students and white students and those from low socioeconomic backgrounds performing below average compared to their peers statewide. The school's graduation rate has ranged from 84.4% to 93.7%, which is generally lower than the state average, and its dropout rate has been slightly higher than the state average.

Compared to nearby high schools, such as Hughesville Junior/Senior High School and Benton Area High School, Sullivan County Junior/Senior High School generally performs worse on academic measures like PSSA and Keystone Exam proficiency rates. This suggests the school may face unique challenges or resource constraints that are not present in the neighboring schools. Addressing the inconsistent performance, equity concerns, and academic gaps compared to nearby schools should be key priorities for the school and district.

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.
