Summary:
The Jefferson County-DuBois Area Vocational-Technical School is the sole high school serving grades 9-12 in the Jefferson County-DuBois Area Vocational-Technical School district. With a total enrollment of 559 students, this school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Pennsylvania high schools, earning a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past three academic years.
The school's academic performance raises concerns, as its proficiency rates on Keystone Exams are significantly lower than the statewide averages, particularly in Algebra I (17% vs. 44.3%) and Biology (27.3% vs. 49.3%). Additionally, the school's four-year graduation rate of 87.9% is below the state average. However, the school does have a relatively small student-teacher ratio of 12.7, which could provide more individualized attention for students.
One notable factor is the school's high poverty level, with a free/reduced lunch recipient rate of 100.18%. This economic disadvantage among the student population may be a contributing factor to the school's academic challenges. Overall, the data suggests that the Jefferson County-DuBois Area Vocational-Technical School is facing significant hurdles in providing a high-quality education to its students, and targeted interventions and support may be necessary to improve student outcomes.
