High Schools in Southern Huntingdon County School District

The Southern Huntingdon County School District has only one high school, Southern Huntingdon County High School/Middle School, which serves students in grades 7-12. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Pennsylvania high schools and underperformed the state average on standardized tests, particularly in math and science.

Southern Huntingdon County High School/Middle School has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 51.38% in the 2023-2024 school year. This suggests that the school may face challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students, many of whom come from low-income backgrounds. The school's four-year graduation rate for the 2023-2024 school year was 87.9%, which is slightly below the state average, and its dropout rate was 1.4%.

Despite the district's relatively high spending per student, at $14,623 for the 2022-2023 school year, the school's academic performance remains below the state average. This raises questions about how the district is allocating its resources and whether they are being used effectively to support student learning. Addressing the school's challenges will likely require a multi-faceted approach that addresses both academic and socioeconomic factors.
