Summary:

Pomeroy Junior Senior High School is a public school serving grades 7-12 in the small town of Pomeroy, Washington, with a total enrollment of 145 students. While the school has experienced fluctuations in its statewide ranking over the years, it currently ranks 307th out of 437 high schools in the state, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

One of the school's key differentiating factors is its predominantly white student population, with 86.21% of students identifying as white, which is higher than the state average and the surrounding schools in the area. However, the school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with low socioeconomic status students performing significantly better than their peers. This highlights the need for targeted interventions and support to address the achievement gaps.

Academically, Pomeroy Junior Senior High School's performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is generally below the state average in both English Language Arts and Mathematics, particularly in 10th-grade Math, where only 20% of students are proficient or better. Additionally, while the school maintains a relatively high four-year graduation rate, the dropout rate has also been high, reaching as high as 14.2% in 2016-2017. The school's spending per student is higher than the state average, but it is unclear how this funding is being utilized to support student 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.
