Summary:
The Greater Johnstown School District in Pennsylvania has only one high school, Greater Johnstown Senior High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Pennsylvania high schools over the past three school years, indicating it is among the lowest-performing schools in the state.
Greater Johnstown Senior High School's performance is rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, and its proficiency rates on PSSA and Keystone Exams are significantly lower than the state averages across all subject areas and grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 2.5% of students were proficient or better in PSSA Math, compared to the state average of 41.7%. Similarly, only 11% of students were proficient or better in PSSA English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 48.5%. The school's four-year graduation rate is slightly below the state average, and its dropout rate is slightly higher.
The high percentage of students (100%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch indicates that the school serves a population with significant economic disadvantages, which may contribute to the school's low academic performance. Despite the higher-than-average spending per student in the district, the school's academic outcomes remain significantly below the state average, suggesting that simply increasing funding may not be enough to improve the school's performance. Targeted interventions and support are likely needed to help Greater Johnstown Senior High School and its students improve their educational outcomes.
