High Schools in Burrell School District

Summary:

Burrell School District in Pennsylvania contains a single high school, Burrell High School, which serves grades 9-12. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher-than-average spending per student, its overall performance and statewide ranking have been declining in recent years, suggesting areas for improvement.

Burrell High School's four-year graduation rate of 87.9% is slightly below the state average, and its performance on the Keystone Exams is mixed, with proficiency rates below the state average in Algebra I and Biology, but above the state average in Literature. The school's 1.4% dropout rate is relatively low, but its 38.07% free/reduced lunch rate indicates a significant population of students from low-income families, which may be contributing to the school's academic challenges.

Compared to other schools in Pennsylvania, Burrell High School is currently ranked 528 out of 686 schools, a significant drop from its previous ranking of 364 out of 674 schools. This decline in performance suggests that the school may need to focus on improving its instructional practices and addressing the needs of its diverse student population to better support their academic success.
