Greensburg Salem School District

The Greensburg Salem School District consists of 5 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, serving students from the Greensburg area. The district faces significant socioeconomic challenges, with all schools having 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

Among the standout schools in the district are Nicely Elementary School and Metzgar Elementary School, which have the highest performance on PSSA Math and English Language Arts tests, with over 50% of students scoring proficient or advanced in most grade levels and subject areas. In contrast, Greensburg-Salem High School has a mixed performance on Keystone Exams, with 11th-grade students scoring below the state average in Algebra I and Biology, but closer to the state average in Literature.

The district's spending per student ranges from $15,716 to $17,554, with the high school having the highest spending. Student-teacher ratios are relatively small, ranging from 12.7 to 14.7. While the district and its schools generally perform below the state average on PSSA and Keystone Exams, the data suggests that targeted interventions and a focus on the district's areas of weakness, such as math performance, could help improve overall academic outcomes for students.
