Summary:
The 15851 zip code area is home to two schools - Jefferson County-DuBois AVTS, a high school, and C G Johnson Elementary School. While the elementary school performs relatively well academically, the high school lags behind state and district averages, particularly in Keystone Exam proficiency rates.
C G Johnson Elementary School stands out for its higher proficiency rates in PSSA Math, Science, and English Language Arts compared to the DuBois Area School District and the state of Pennsylvania. In contrast, Jefferson County-DuBois AVTS has a very high percentage of students eligible for free/reduced lunch at 98.32%, indicating a high-need student population, and its Keystone Exam proficiency rates are significantly lower than the state average.
Both schools serve predominantly white student populations and have relatively low student-teacher ratios, suggesting a focus on smaller class sizes. However, the stark contrast in academic performance between the high school and elementary school is noteworthy and may warrant further investigation to understand the factors contributing to this difference, as well as the decline in C G Johnson Elementary's SchoolDigger ranking in recent years.
