High Schools in New Brighton Area School District

Summary:

The New Brighton Area School District in Pennsylvania has only one high school, New Brighton Area High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from 307 out of 674 Pennsylvania high schools in 2022-2023 to 453 out of 681 in 2024-2025.

New Brighton Area High School's academic performance is mixed compared to district and state averages. While the school's four-year graduation rate of 87.9% is slightly below the state average, its dropout rate of 1.4% is relatively low. The school's proficiency rates on the Keystone Exams are lower than the state averages in Algebra I (36.6% vs. 44.3%) and Literature (50% vs. 62.1%), but higher in Biology (46.4% vs. 49.3%). The school serves a high-poverty student population, with 100% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, and the district spends $25,644 per student, significantly higher than the state average.

Despite the high spending per student, New Brighton Area High School's academic performance does not appear to be commensurate with the level of investment. The school's declining statewide ranking and mixed test scores suggest the need for further analysis and targeted interventions to address the challenges facing the school and improve student outcomes.
