Summary:
The 17049 zip code is home to a single school, East Juniata Junior/Senior High School, which serves grades 7-12 and is part of the Juniata County School District. While the school has a high graduation rate and low dropout rate, its academic performance, particularly in math, is a concern that warrants further attention.
East Juniata Junior/Senior High School has a predominantly white student population, with only a small percentage of minority students. The school's PSSA math proficiency rates are significantly lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels, suggesting potential areas for improvement in math instruction and curriculum. However, the school's science and ELA proficiency rates are closer to the district and state averages, and its Keystone Exam proficiency rates in Biology and Literature are also closer to the district and state levels.
Despite the academic performance concerns, the school has a relatively high four-year graduation rate of 96.0% and a low dropout rate of 0.7%. Additionally, the school's spending per student is above the state average, and it has a low student-teacher ratio of 11.5, indicating that it has access to adequate resources and small class sizes. However, these factors alone do not seem to be driving higher academic achievement, and the school's leadership may need to explore targeted interventions to address the specific areas of concern in the school's academic performance.
