Summary:
The Sullivan County School District in Pennsylvania has only one high school, Sullivan County Junior/Senior High School, which serves grades 7-12. The school faces significant challenges, with a student population that is predominantly economically disadvantaged, as evidenced by the high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at 98.93%.
Academically, Sullivan County Junior/Senior High School struggles to meet state performance standards. The school's proficiency rates on standardized tests like the PSSA and Keystone Exams range from 22.1% to 62.5% across different subject areas and grade levels, lagging behind the state averages of 30.5% to 62.1%. The school's four-year graduation rate of 87.9% is also slightly below the state average. However, the school's dropout rate of 1.4% is relatively low.
Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $26,707 and a favorable student-teacher ratio of 10.4, the academic performance data suggests that the resources may not be effectively utilized or targeted to address the specific needs of the student population. The school district's overall ranking is 365 out of 606 districts in Pennsylvania, with a 2-star rating out of 5, indicating room for improvement in supporting student learning and achievement.
