Summary:
The Tunkhannock Area School District in Pennsylvania is home to a single high school, Tunkhannock High School, which serves grades 9-12. While the school district spends more per student than the state average, Tunkhannock High School's academic performance is generally below the state and district averages, ranking 411 out of 681 Pennsylvania high schools for the 2024-2025 school year and earning a 2-out-of-5-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Tunkhannock High School's four-year graduation rate of 87.9% is slightly below the state average, and its dropout rate of 1.4% is relatively low. However, the school's test scores lag behind, with only 28.1% of students proficient or better in PSSA/Math for all grades, compared to the district average of 40.2% and the state average of 41.7%. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students (60.95%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
Despite the high spending per student and the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13:1, Tunkhannock High School has been consistently ranked in the bottom half of Pennsylvania high schools for the past three school years. This suggests that simply spending more money may not be the sole solution to improving the school's academic outcomes, and that addressing any underlying socioeconomic factors may be crucial in helping the school improve its performance and better serve its students.
