Tri-Valley Junior/Senior High School

Summary:

Tri-Valley Junior/Senior High School is a public school located in Hegins, Pennsylvania, serving grades 7-12 with a student population of 441. The school is part of the Tri-Valley School District, which is ranked 441 out of 606 districts in Pennsylvania and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Tri-Valley Junior/Senior High School faces several challenges, including lower academic performance compared to the state and surrounding schools. The school's PSSA Math proficiency rate is just 13.8%, well below the state average of 39.3%. However, Tri-Valley has a relatively high four-year graduation rate, ranging from 94.1% to 98.4% over the past few years, which is higher than the nearby Pottsville Area High School, North Schuylkill Junior/Senior High School, and Pine Grove Area High School. Additionally, Tri-Valley has a lower percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (28.34%) compared to some of the nearby schools, such as Minersville Area Junior/Senior High School (95.83%) and Williams Valley Junior/Senior High School (97.5%).

Tri-Valley's statewide school rank has declined over the years, from a high of 302 out of 680 Pennsylvania high schools in 2014-2015 to 430 out of 674 in 2022-2023, suggesting that the school's performance may be declining relative to other schools in the state. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as low socioeconomic status students and students with disabilities, ranking 532 out of 652 and 496 out of 502 Pennsylvania high schools, respectively, in these categories. While Tri-Valley's per-student spending is comparable to the nearby schools, the academic outcomes suggest the need for further investigation and targeted interventions to improve student learning and outcomes.

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.
