Summary:
New Day Charter School is the sole high school serving grades 7-12 in the New Day Charter School district in Huntingdon, Pennsylvania. With a total enrollment of 158 students, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of high schools in the state over the past three school years, indicating poor overall performance.
Despite spending more per student than the state average, New Day Charter School has struggled to provide a high-quality education to its students. 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 in 2024-2025, compared to the state average of 48.5%. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students (56.96%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
Despite its low performance, New Day Charter School maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.1 to 1, which is better than the state average. However, this has not translated into improved academic outcomes for the school's students, suggesting that factors beyond just student-teacher ratios may be contributing to the school's challenges.
