Summary:
The Moshannon Valley School District in Pennsylvania has only one high school, Moshannon Valley Junior/Senior High School, which serves students in grades 7-12. The school's performance has been consistently below the district and state averages, with a statewide rank that has fluctuated between 368 and 489 out of 674-686 Pennsylvania high schools over the past three school years.
Academically, Moshannon Valley Junior/Senior High School struggles, scoring below the district and state averages on PSSA Math and English Language Arts assessments across all grade levels. However, the school's performance on Keystone Exams is more mixed, with Algebra I and Literature scores slightly below the state average, but Biology scores slightly above. The school's four-year graduation rate of 87.9% is slightly below the state average, while its dropout rate of 1.4% is lower than the state average.
One notable factor is the high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 102.46% for the 2023-2024 school year, indicating a significant level of economic disadvantage among the student population. The school's per-student spending of $18,441 is higher than the state average, but this has not translated to improved academic outcomes. The school's student-teacher ratio of 13.8 is slightly lower than the state average, suggesting smaller class sizes, but this alone does not guarantee better performance.
