Summary:
The Penns Manor Area Junior/Senior High School is the sole high school serving the Penns Manor Area School District in Pennsylvania. The school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from 290th out of 674 Pennsylvania high schools in 2022-2023 to 419th out of 681 in 2024-2025. Its performance on standardized tests, including PSSA Math, PSSA English Language Arts, and Keystone Exams, is generally below the state average.
Despite the district's relatively high spending per student, the school's academic performance does not seem to be commensurate with the level of funding. The school has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant socioeconomic challenges faced by the student population. The school's four-year graduation rate of 87.9% in 2023-2024 is slightly below the state average, while its dropout rate of 1.4% in the same year is relatively low.
Overall, the data suggests that the Penns Manor Area Junior/Senior High School is facing challenges in maintaining academic performance and keeping up with state standards. The school's declining statewide ranking and below-average test scores are areas of concern that may require targeted interventions and a closer examination of the district's resource allocation and spending priorities to support student success.
