High Schools in Old Forge School District

Summary:

The Old Forge School District in Pennsylvania has only one high school, Old Forge Junior/Senior High School, which serves students in grades 7-12. The school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 201 out of 681 schools in 2024-2025 to 413 out of 686 schools in 2023-2024.

Academically, Old Forge Junior/Senior High School has mixed results. While the school's Keystone Exam proficiency rates in Literature, Biology, and Algebra I are generally higher than the state average, its PSSA Math proficiency rates are below the state average, ranging from 17.2% for 8th grade to 39.7% for 7th grade in 2024-2025. In PSSA English Language Arts, the school's performance is more varied, with 7th grade performing above the state average but 8th grade performing below.

The school serves a relatively high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 47.15% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024. However, the school's per-student spending is higher than the state average, and its student-teacher ratio is lower, suggesting that the school may have access to more resources and smaller class sizes. These factors could be contributing to the school's mixed academic performance and the need to focus on improving math instruction and outcomes.
