Summary:
The city of Mifflintown, Pennsylvania is home to three schools serving students from elementary through high school: Juniata Elementary School, Juniata Senior High School, and Tuscarora Middle School. These schools are part of the Juniata County School District, which is ranked 409 out of 606 school districts in Pennsylvania and has an overall 2-star rating.
Among the three schools, Juniata Senior High School stands out as the strongest performer, ranking 302 out of 686 Pennsylvania high schools and earning a 3-star rating. The school has a relatively high graduation rate of 87.9% and a low dropout rate of 1.4%. Its Keystone Exam proficiency rates in Algebra I, Biology, and Literature are close to or above the state averages. In contrast, Juniata Elementary School lags behind, ranking 1104 out of 1526 Pennsylvania elementary schools with a 1-star rating, and its proficiency rates in Math and English Language Arts are significantly below the state averages.
Tuscarora Middle School is a bright spot, outperforming the district and state in English Language Arts proficiency, particularly in 8th grade. However, its Math proficiency lags behind. The high free/reduced lunch rates across all three schools, exceeding 50%, suggest a significant economically disadvantaged student population in the Mifflintown area, which may impact academic performance.
