Summary:

The school is part of the Albert Gallatin Area School District, which is ranked 405 out of 606 school districts in Pennsylvania and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school's performance on PSSA (Pennsylvania System of School Assessment) tests is below the district and state averages in both Math and English Language Arts across all grade levels.
