Summary:

The Union City, Pennsylvania area is home to three schools - Union City Elementary School, Union City High School, and Union City Middle School - all part of the Union City Area School District. The data reveals a mixed picture of school performance, with Union City Middle School standing out as the highest-performing school in the district.

Union City Middle School ranks 367 out of 873 Pennsylvania middle schools and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school outperformed the district and state averages in English Language Arts proficiency across all grade levels. Additionally, it had the lowest student-teacher ratio of the three schools at 8.2 students per teacher. In contrast, Union City Elementary School consistently ranked in the bottom half of Pennsylvania elementary schools, with a 1-star rating, and struggled with math proficiency, scoring well below the state average.

Union City High School ranked 431 out of 681 Pennsylvania high schools and maintained a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 87.9% in 2023-2024, with the lowest dropout rate of the three schools at 1.4%. However, the school had mixed results on test scores, with lower proficiency rates than the state in Algebra I and Biology, but higher proficiency in Literature. Across all three schools, the district faces challenges, with extremely high free/reduced lunch rates, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage in the area. Addressing these systemic issues will be crucial for improving educational outcomes for students in the Union City Area School District.
