Summary:

The Moniteau School District in Pennsylvania operates two schools: Dassa McKinney Elementary School and Moniteau Junior/Senior High School. While both schools serve high-need student populations with 100% free/reduced lunch rates, the data reveals a stark contrast in academic performance between the two.

Dassa McKinney Elementary School stands out as a bright spot in the district, consistently outperforming state averages on PSSA Math, English Language Arts, and Science assessments. In 2024-2025, the school ranked in the top third of all Pennsylvania elementary schools, despite serving a high-need student population. With a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.3 and spending $16,075 per student, Dassa McKinney appears to be effectively utilizing its resources to support student achievement.

In contrast, Moniteau Junior/Senior High School lags behind the district and state averages in PSSA Math and English Language Arts, with particularly low 8th grade Math proficiency. However, the high school performs better than the district and state in 11th grade Keystone Exams, especially in Literature. This disparity in performance between the elementary and secondary levels suggests a need to examine curriculum alignment, instructional practices, and support systems as students transition from one level to the next.
