Summary

Jamestown Area Junior/Senior High School is a public high school serving grades 7-12 in Jamestown, Pennsylvania, with an enrollment of 186 students. The school is part of the Jamestown Area School District, which is ranked 355 out of 606 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Jamestown Area Junior/Senior High School has seen fluctuations in its academic performance, ranking as high as 97 out of 634 Pennsylvania high schools in 2021-2022 (4-star rating) but as low as 444 out of 681 in 2024-2025 (2-star rating). The school's proficiency rates on standardized tests, such as PSSA Math (25%) and PSSA English Language Arts (52.2%) in 2024-2025, are generally below the state and district averages. However, its performance on Keystone Exams is more mixed, with proficiency rates in Algebra I (41.7%), Biology (44%), and Literature (50%) being closer to or above the state averages. Compared to nearby schools like Hickory High School and Greenville Junior/Senior High School, Jamestown Area Junior/Senior High School generally underperforms in Math and English Language Arts.

The school's graduation rate has fluctuated between 87.5% in 2022-2023 and 100% in 2023-2024, while its dropout rate has ranged from 0% in 2023-2024 to 1.6% in 2022-2023. These rates are generally in line with or better than the nearby schools. However, the school faces significant challenges in addressing the needs of its disadvantaged student population, with 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024. This suggests that the school may need to develop targeted interventions and strategies to improve student outcomes, particularly for its low-socioeconomic status student subgroups.
