Summary:
The Cornell School District in Pennsylvania has only one high school, Cornell High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The data reveals that Cornell High School is a struggling school, consistently ranking in the bottom half of Pennsylvania high schools with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Academically, Cornell High School lags behind state averages, with only 11.7% of students proficient or better in PSSA/Math and 32.5% in PSSA/English Language Arts. The school's performance on Keystone Exams is also below state averages, with 27.8% proficient or better in Algebra I, 30.6% in Biology, and 32.4% in Literature. Despite the district's high spending per student of $29,057, the school's academic outcomes remain significantly lower than the state's.
Socioeconomic factors may play a role in the school's challenges, as 100% of its students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. While the school's student-teacher ratio of 9.2 is relatively low, this advantage does not appear to be translating into improved academic performance, suggesting the need for a deeper examination of the school's instructional practices and support systems.
