Williamsburg Community Junior/Senior High School

Summary:

Williamsburg Community Junior/Senior High School is a public school serving grades 7-12 in Williamsburg, PA, with 228 students. The school is part of the Williamsburg Community School District, which is ranked 258 out of 610 districts in Pennsylvania and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While the school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Pennsylvania high schools over the past 10 years, its performance on standardized tests is mixed. In 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates in PSSA Math (36.4%) and PSSA English Language Arts (66.7%) are above the state averages but below the district averages. However, the school's performance on PSSA Science is a bright spot, with 75% proficiency, which is above both the state and district averages. The school's 4-year graduation rate is around 87-100%, on par with the state average, and its dropout rate has been 0-1.6% in recent years, also comparable to the state average.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Central High School, Huntingdon Area Senior High School, and Altoona Area High School, Williamsburg Community Junior/Senior High School's academic performance is generally lower, with the exception of its strong performance in PSSA Science. The school also has a higher percentage of low socioeconomic status students, which may contribute to its academic challenges. However, the school's smaller size of 228 students may present both advantages and disadvantages compared to its larger counterparts.

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.
