High Schools in Forbes Road School District


Summary:

The Forbes Road School District in Pennsylvania has only one high school, Forbes Road Junior/Senior High School, which serves students in grades 7-12. The school's performance has been mixed, with fluctuations in its statewide ranking and varying proficiency rates on standardized tests. However, the school boasts a relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher-than-average spending per student, which could contribute to better educational outcomes.

Forbes Road Junior/Senior High School's four-year graduation rate of 87.9% is a positive metric, but the school's dropout rate of 1.4% suggests room for improvement. Academically, the school's proficiency rates in PSSA Math and English Language Arts are above the state average, but its Keystone Exam proficiency rates in Biology are below the state average, indicating mixed performance across subject areas. The school serves a student population with a high percentage (57.5%) of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, which may present unique challenges.

Overall, the data suggests that Forbes Road Junior/Senior High School is a school with both strengths and areas for improvement. While the school's resources and smaller class sizes could be assets, its inconsistent academic performance and the economic challenges faced by its student population may require targeted interventions and support to ensure all students have the opportunity to succeed.
