Summary:
The Plum Borough School District in Pennsylvania is home to a single high school, Plum Senior High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school's performance has been somewhat inconsistent in recent years, with a 3-out-of-5-star rating in the 2024-2025 school year, up from a 2-star rating in the previous two years.
Plum Senior High School's academic strengths lie in its higher-than-average proficiency rates on the Keystone Exams in Biology (64.5%) and Literature (68.1%), outpacing the state averages. However, its Algebra I proficiency rate of 44.3% matches the state average, suggesting room for improvement in math performance. The school's four-year graduation rate of 87.9% and low dropout rate of 1.4% indicate that it is generally successful in supporting students through to graduation.
Socioeconomic factors play a role, with over 31% of Plum Senior High School students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. The school's relatively high per-student spending of $16,620 may be an effort to provide additional resources and support for these economically disadvantaged students. Overall, Plum Senior High School appears to be a solid educational institution, but its inconsistent performance and the needs of its student population suggest areas for continued focus and improvement.
