Summary:
The North Schuylkill School District in Pennsylvania is home to a single high school, North Schuylkill Junior/Senior High School, which serves students in grades 7-12. The school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, with a statewide ranking between 445 and 482 out of 674-686 Pennsylvania high schools and a 1-2 star rating from SchoolDigger.
Academically, North Schuylkill Junior/Senior High School has struggled to keep pace with state averages, particularly in math and science proficiency. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates on the PSSA and Keystone Exams were generally lower than the state averages, with only 27% of students proficient in PSSA Math compared to the state average of 41.7%. The school's four-year graduation rate of 87.9% is also slightly below the state average.
Demographic and socioeconomic factors may play a role in the school's performance, as it has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at 57.5% and a student-teacher ratio of 16.3, which is slightly higher than the state average. However, the school district's spending per student for the 2022-2023 school year was $14,444, which is higher than the state average, suggesting that resources may not be translating into improved student outcomes. Overall, the data indicates that North Schuylkill Junior/Senior High School faces challenges in academic achievement and may benefit from a focus on improving performance, particularly in STEM subjects.
