Fannett-Metal School District

The Fannett-Metal School District in Pennsylvania operates three schools: Fannett-Metal Elementary School, Fannett-Metal Senior High School, and Fannett-Metal Middle School. The district serves a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population, with high rates of free and reduced-price lunch eligibility across all three schools.

The standout school in the district is Fannett-Metal Elementary School, which has consistently ranked in the top 300 elementary schools in Pennsylvania and earned a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The elementary school outperforms the district and state averages in both math and English language arts proficiency, particularly in 3rd and 4th grades. In contrast, the middle and high schools struggle more, with proficiency rates below the district and state averages, especially in math.

Despite the challenges faced by the middle and high schools, the Fannett-Metal School District is investing in smaller class sizes, with relatively low student-teacher ratios across all three schools. The district also spends more per student than the state average, which could be an opportunity to further support the needs of its economically disadvantaged student population through targeted programs and initiatives.
