Summary:
The Jefferson-Morgan School District in Pennsylvania operates two schools: Jefferson-Morgan Elementary School and Jefferson-Morgan Middle School/High School. The district as a whole is underperforming compared to state averages, with both schools consistently ranking in the bottom half of their respective categories in Pennsylvania.
Jefferson-Morgan Elementary School has a relatively low statewide ranking, with below-average test scores, particularly in math and English language arts. The school also has a high free and reduced lunch rate of over 54%, indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students. In contrast, Jefferson-Morgan Middle School/High School performs slightly better, with a graduation rate of 87.5% and higher proficiency rates in English language arts, but still lags behind state averages in Algebra I and other Keystone Exams.
Despite the high spending per student at both schools, the academic outcomes do not seem to reflect this investment, suggesting potential areas for improvement in resource allocation and instructional practices. Additionally, the student-teacher ratios are relatively low, but the academic results still lag behind state averages, indicating that factors beyond just student-teacher ratios may be at play. Addressing the underlying challenges, such as supporting economically disadvantaged students and enhancing instructional quality, could be crucial in improving the educational outcomes for the Jefferson-Morgan School District.
