Summary:

The Claysburg-Kimmel School District consists of three schools: Claysburg-Kimmel Elementary School, Claysburg-Kimmel Senior High School, and Claysburg-Kimmel Junior High School. The district serves a community with significant economic challenges, as evidenced by the high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch across all three schools.

Among the three schools, the Claysburg-Kimmel Junior High School stands out as the highest-performing, ranking 294 out of 873 Pennsylvania middle schools in 2024-2025 and earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school consistently demonstrates strong performance on PSSA English Language Arts and Science tests, with over 50% of students proficient or better.

The district's overall performance on PSSA and Keystone Exams is generally below the state average, with some exceptions. The district also faces challenges in maintaining consistent student-teacher ratios, with the junior high school having a significantly higher ratio than the elementary school. Addressing these disparities and providing targeted interventions may be crucial for improving student outcomes across the Claysburg-Kimmel School District.
