Susquenita School District

Summary:

The Susquenita School District in Pennsylvania consists of 3 schools: Susquenita Elementary School, Susquenita Middle School, and Susquenita High School. While the district as a whole is underperforming, with a ranking of 422 out of 606 districts in Pennsylvania, there are some standout schools within the district.

Susquenita Middle School is the highest-performing school in the district, ranking 403 out of 873 Pennsylvania middle schools in 2024-2025. It has a relatively low dropout rate of 1.4% and outperforms the district and state averages in English Language Arts proficiency across all grade levels. Susquenita High School also stands out, with a strong 4-year graduation rate of 87.9% and higher proficiency rates in Keystone Exam Literature compared to the district and state.

However, the district faces some systemic challenges, particularly in Math proficiency, where all three schools score well below the state average. Additionally, a significant percentage of students across the district receive free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 40.57% at the high school to 51.17% at the elementary school, suggesting potential equity concerns that may require targeted interventions and support.
