Summary

Jefferson-Morgan Middle School/High School is a public school serving grades 7-12 in the Jefferson-Morgan School District in Pennsylvania. With 373 students, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Pennsylvania high schools over the past 10 years, ranging from 356 to 530 out of 600-700 schools. The school's SchoolDigger rating has also been low, fluctuating between 1 and 2 stars out of 5.

While female students at Jefferson-Morgan perform better than male students, ranking 306 out of 657 PA high schools compared to 428 out of 660 for males, the school's overall academic performance is a concern. Students consistently score below the state and district averages on PSSA and Keystone Exams in math, science, and English language arts, with proficiency rates ranging from 10-60% across different grade levels and subject areas. The school's four-year graduation rate of around 87-88% is slightly below the state average, and the dropout rate of 1.3-1.6% is slightly higher.

Compared to nearby schools like Bentworth Senior High School, Mapletown Junior/Senior High School, and Waynesburg Central Junior/Senior High School, Jefferson-Morgan generally underperforms on academic metrics and statewide rankings. This may be partly due to the school's high percentage of students (over 50%) qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. Addressing these challenges and learning from the successes of nearby higher-performing schools could be key to improving the school's overall performance and outcomes for its students.
