Summary:
The King of Prussia, Pennsylvania area is home to 7 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 1 high school, and 2 alternative schools. The schools in this area display a range of academic performance, with some standout institutions like Caley Elementary School and Candlebrook Elementary School consistently ranking among the top in the state. In contrast, the alternative cyber charter schools, Agora Cyber Charter School and Pennsylvania Virtual Charter School, struggle with lower academic performance and graduation rates compared to the traditional public schools.
The elementary and middle schools in the Upper Merion Area School District generally outperform the state averages on standardized tests, particularly in math and science. Upper Merion High School also stands out with a strong 92% four-year graduation rate and low 0.3% dropout rate. However, the alternative schools struggle with much lower proficiency rates, suggesting the virtual model may not be as effective for these students.
Factors like student-teacher ratios, racial/ethnic diversity, and socioeconomic status, as measured by free/reduced lunch eligibility, vary across the schools and may contribute to the differences in academic performance. Further analysis of these factors could provide valuable insights to help improve educational outcomes across the district.
