Summary:

The Moshannon Valley School District in Pennsylvania operates two schools - Moshannon Valley Elementary School and Moshannon Valley Junior/Senior High School. The district serves a student population facing significant economic challenges, with very high free and reduced-price lunch rates at both schools.

Moshannon Valley Elementary School stands out as a relative strength within the district, with consistently high proficiency rates in 6th grade PSSA Math and English Language Arts that outperform the district and state averages. In contrast, the junior/senior high school has lower test scores, particularly in math, suggesting opportunities to improve academic outcomes for older students. However, the high school does boast a strong 87.9% four-year graduation rate, exceeding the state average.

Overall, the data paints a mixed picture for the Moshannon Valley School District. While the elementary school appears to be a bright spot, the district's overall ranking of 398 out of 606 in Pennsylvania and the 2-star ratings for both schools indicate there is room for improvement. Identifying and replicating the successful practices from the elementary level, while addressing the challenges at the secondary level, could be a path forward for the district to better support the academic and developmental needs of its students.
