Summary:
The Shamokin Area School District in Pennsylvania has only one high school, Shamokin Area High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Pennsylvania high schools, with a 1 out of 5-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance.
Shamokin Area High School's academic achievement is a concern, with proficiency rates on Keystone Exams significantly lower than the state averages in Algebra I, Biology, and Literature. The school's 4-year graduation rate of 87.9% is slightly below the state average, while its dropout rate of 1.4% is relatively low. The school faces significant socioeconomic challenges, with 100.45% of its students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, and the district's spending per student is higher than the state average.
Despite the school's resource allocation, with a student-teacher ratio slightly higher than the state average, the academic results suggest that these efforts may not be fully effective. The data provides an opportunity to identify areas for improvement and implement targeted interventions to support student success, particularly in core subject areas and addressing the needs of the school's socioeconomically disadvantaged population.
