High Schools in Susquehanna Township School District

Summary:

The Susquehanna Township School District in Pennsylvania contains a single high school, Susquehanna Township High School, which serves grades 9-12. The school's performance has been below average compared to other high schools in the state, with a declining statewide ranking and test scores significantly lower than the state averages.

Susquehanna Township High School had a 87.9% four-year graduation rate for the 2023-2024 school year, slightly below the state average. The school's dropout rate of 1.4% is relatively low. However, the school's performance on the Keystone Exams is concerning, with proficiency rates of 28.6% in Algebra I, 34% in Biology, and 39.5% in Literature, all well below the state averages. The school has a high percentage of students (64.08%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Despite the relatively high per-student spending of $31,274 in the 2022-2023 school year, the school's academic performance remains below average. The school's low student-teacher ratio of 13.5 to 1 is generally considered a positive factor, but the data suggests the school may be struggling to provide equitable educational opportunities for its students. The school's declining statewide ranking, from 444 in 2023-2024 to 541 in 2024-2025, indicates a need for comprehensive review and targeted interventions to improve student outcomes.
