Summary:
The Jersey Shore Area School District in Pennsylvania has only one high school, Jersey Shore Area Senior High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school's performance has seen some challenges in recent years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 236 out of 681 Pennsylvania high schools in 2024-2025 to 432 out of 686 in 2023-2024, accompanied by a decline in its star rating from 3 to 2.
Academically, Jersey Shore Area Senior High School has had mixed results on the Keystone Exams, outperforming the state average in some subjects like Literature but falling behind in others like Algebra I and Biology. The school's four-year graduation rate for the 2023-2024 school year was 87.9%, and its dropout rate was 1.4%. With nearly half of the students (47.38%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, the school serves a population with a relatively high level of economic disadvantage.
Despite these challenges, the school has some strengths, including a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.2 and higher-than-average spending per student at $17,971 for the 2022-2023 school year. These factors may contribute to the school's ability to provide personalized attention and support for its students. Overall, while Jersey Shore Area Senior High School faces some performance-related issues, the data suggests the school is working to address these challenges and support its student population.
