Mohawk Area School District

Summary:

The Mohawk Area School District in Pennsylvania operates three schools: Mohawk Elementary School, Mohawk Senior High School, and Mohawk Junior High School. The district serves a total of 1,460 students across these three schools, with a range of academic performance and resource allocation.

Mohawk Elementary School stands out as a consistent top performer, consistently ranking among the top 25% of Pennsylvania elementary schools and outperforming the district and state averages in PSSA Math and English Language Arts proficiency across all grade levels. The school's 4th-grade students, in particular, demonstrate exceptional proficiency in PSSA Math and ELA, as well as high science proficiency.

In contrast, Mohawk Junior High School lags behind the district and state averages in PSSA Math and ELA proficiency, particularly in 8th grade, suggesting potential challenges in the transition from elementary to middle school. Meanwhile, Mohawk Senior High School excels, with a 4-star rating, an impressive 87.9% four-year graduation rate, and strong performance on Keystone Exams. The district's resource allocation, with higher spending per student at the high school level, may be contributing to these disparities in academic outcomes.
