NEW DAY CHARTER SCHOOL

New Day Charter School is a Title I public charter high school that is part of the New Day CS school district, located in Huntingdon, PA with about 166 students offering grade levels from 7th Grade to 12th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 12 teachers, New Day Charter School has a student/teacher ratio of about 13:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

New Day Charter School, located in Huntingdon, Pennsylvania, serves students in grades 6 through 12, offering a personalized approach to education that prioritizes a supportive, community-focused environment.

The school is particularly noted for its efforts to re-engage students who may have struggled in traditional classroom settings, providing a flexible structure that fosters both accountability and academic growth.
