Summary:
New Day Charter School is the sole public charter high school serving grades 7-12 in the New Day Charter School District, located in Huntingdon, Pennsylvania. With a total enrollment of 158 students, the school faces significant academic challenges, as evidenced by its consistently low test scores and declining statewide ranking.
Despite a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.1 to 1, New Day Charter School has struggled to provide a high-quality education to its students. The school's 4-year graduation rate of 87.9% is slightly below the state average, and its dropout rate of 1.4% is relatively low. However, the school's test scores are significantly below the state averages across all subject areas and grade levels, with only 4.8% of students proficient or better in PSSA English Language Arts and 0% proficient in PSSA Math.
The high percentage of students (56.96%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch at New Day Charter School suggests that the school serves a population with significant economic disadvantages, which may contribute to its academic challenges. Additionally, the school's spending per student of $18,041 is higher than the state average, indicating that the school may need to re-evaluate its resource allocation and implement more effective strategies to support student learning and achievement.
