Fayette County Career & Technical Institute

Summary:

Fayette County Career & Technical Institute is a public high school serving grades 9-12 in Uniontown, Pennsylvania, part of the Fayette County Career & Technical Institute District. With a consistently low ranking among Pennsylvania high schools, the school faces significant academic challenges, particularly in core subjects like Algebra, Biology, and Literature.

Fayette County Career & Technical Institute's academic performance is well below the state average, with only 0% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in Algebra I, compared to the state average of 41.6%. Similarly, the school's proficiency rates in Biology (14.3%) and Literature (15.4%) lag far behind the state averages of 50.5% and 63.2%, respectively. While the school has a low student-teacher ratio, suggesting a focus on individualized attention, this does not appear to be translating into improved student outcomes. Interestingly, nearby schools like Frazier High School, California Area Senior High School, and Connellsville Area Senior High School generally perform better on academic measures, indicating that the challenges faced by Fayette County Career & Technical Institute may not be shared by all schools in the region.

Despite the academic challenges, the school appears to be able to retain and graduate a majority of its students, with nearby schools reporting a 87.5% four-year graduation rate and a 1.6% dropout rate. This suggests that the school may benefit from a closer examination of its curriculum, instructional practices, and support systems for students, with the goal of identifying and addressing the root causes of the academic underperformance and better preparing its students for post-secondary 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.
