Summary:
The Reading School District in Pennsylvania has only one high school, Reading Senior High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Pennsylvania high schools, with a 0-star or 1-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past three school years. This suggests the school is struggling to perform at a high level compared to other schools in the state.
Reading Senior High School's academic performance is a significant concern, with proficiency rates on the Keystone Exams ranging from 9.7% to 31.1% in various subjects, compared to the state average of 44.3% to 62.1%. This indicates a substantial achievement gap between the school and other high schools in Pennsylvania. Additionally, the school serves a predominantly low-income student population, with over 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.
Despite the school's low academic performance, it has a relatively high four-year graduation rate of 87.9%. However, this is accompanied by a high spending per student of $19,339, raising questions about the effective use of resources and the need to explore strategies to improve educational outcomes for the students at Reading Senior High School.
