Summary:
The Forest Hills School District in Pennsylvania has only one high school, Forest Hills Junior/Senior High School, which serves students in grades 7-12. The school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 316 out of 674 Pennsylvania high schools in 2022-2023 to 468 out of 686 in 2023-2024, and its SchoolDigger rating varying from 3 stars out of 5 in 2022-2023 to 2 stars in 2023-2024 and 2024-2025.
Academically, Forest Hills Junior/Senior High School's proficiency rates on PSSA Math and English Language Arts assessments are generally on par with or slightly above the state averages, but its Keystone Exam proficiency rates are mixed, with Algebra I and Literature below the state average but Biology above the state average. The school's four-year graduation rate for 2023-2024 was 87.9%, slightly below the state average, while its dropout rate of 1.4% is lower than the state average.
The school faces some challenges, including a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at 100.38% in 2023-2024, suggesting significant socioeconomic challenges. However, the school also benefits from higher-than-average per-student spending of $16,774 in 2022-2023 and a lower student-teacher ratio of 14:1, which may indicate a focus on resource allocation to support student learning. Continued monitoring and targeted interventions may be necessary to address the school's areas for improvement and ensure the success of its students.
