Union Township School District

Union Township School District has two schools serving prekindergarten through Grade 8: Union Township Elementary School (PK–3, 259 students) and Union Township Middle School (Grades 4–8, 246 students). The most important finding is that all 14 reported 2025–2026 test results at both schools were above the state result for the same grade and subject, with gaps ranging from 11 to 74 percentage points.

Union Township Middle School has the strongest observed results, including Grade 8 math: 97% proficient compared with 23% statewide, a 74-point advantage; its Grade 8 ELA result was 89% versus 53% statewide, a 35-point advantage. Union Township Elementary School also stands out in Grade 3, with 80% proficient in math versus 49% statewide and 69% in ELA versus 48% statewide. The smallest state-relative advantage among the reported results was 11 points, in middle-school Grade 4 ELA. The schools’ grades do not overlap, so the results cannot establish which school performs better in the same grades.

Recent results show both notable gains and declines: middle-school Grade 8 math rose 30 points from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, while Grade 7 ELA fell 17 points and Grade 7 math fell 12 points. Elementary Grade 3 ELA increased 1 point, while math decreased 3 points. SchoolDigger ranked the middle school 33rd of 743 schools (96th percentile) and the elementary school 154th of 1,331 (88th percentile) in 2025–2026. In 2024–2025, student-teacher ratios were 10.6 at the middle school and 9.7 at the elementary school; free/reduced lunch eligible shares were 6% and 7%, respectively. These figures offer context, not an explanation for test results.
