Summary:
The East Stroudsburg Area School District consists of 10 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 2 high schools, serving students in the East Stroudsburg area. The district's schools exhibit a wide range of academic performance, with some standout performers and others struggling to meet state averages.
Among the top-performing schools in the district are Smithfield Elementary School, which has the highest PSSA Math and English Language Arts proficiency rates, and East Stroudsburg Elementary School, which also performs well on PSSA tests. These schools have relatively low percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, a proxy for low socioeconomic status. In contrast, other schools in the district, such as Middle Smithfield Elementary School, have higher percentages of free/reduced lunch recipients and lower PSSA proficiency rates.
At the high school level, both East Stroudsburg Senior High School South and East Stroudsburg Senior High School North have a 87.9% four-year graduation rate, but their Keystone Exam proficiency rates in Algebra I, Biology, and Literature are below the state average, indicating a need for improvement in academic performance and college/career readiness at the secondary level.
