Summary:
The Fort Cherry School District in Pennsylvania is home to a single high school, Fort Cherry 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 298th out of 681 schools in 2024-2025 to 429th out of 674 schools in 2022-2023.
While Fort Cherry Junior/Senior High School has seen mixed results on standardized tests, with some subject areas and grade levels performing above the state average and others below, the school stands out for its strong performance in English Language Arts. In 2024-2025, the school had a 67.1% proficiency rate in PSSA/English Language Arts for all grades, outpacing both the district's 64.6% and the state's 48.5%. However, the school faces challenges in mathematics, with a 29.3% proficiency rate in PSSA/Math for all grades in 2024-2025, significantly lower than the district's 50.3% and the state's 41.7%.
The school's graduation rate of 87.9% in 2023-2024 and a low dropout rate of 1.4% suggest that the school is generally successful in supporting its students. Additionally, the school district's relatively high per-student spending of $21,422 in 2022-2023 indicates that the school may have access to significant resources to address any areas of concern. However, with 50.66% of the school's students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024, the school may need to consider the impact of socioeconomic factors on student performance and implement targeted support programs to address any disparities.
