Union School District

The Union School District in Pennsylvania consists of two schools: Union High School and Sligo Elementary School. Based on the available data, Sligo Elementary School appears to be the standout performer in the district, consistently outpacing the district and state averages in academic proficiency across various subjects and grade levels.

Sligo Elementary School boasts impressive PSSA Math and English Language Arts proficiency rates, with 43.2% and 38.7% of students, respectively, meeting or exceeding standards in the 2024-2025 school year. The school also excels in PSSA Science, with 86.2% of students achieving proficiency or better in 2023-2024, significantly higher than the district and state averages. Additionally, Sligo Elementary School maintains a lower student-teacher ratio of 11.4, suggesting more personalized attention for its students, and spends less per student ($18,755) compared to Union High School ($22,080).

In contrast, Union High School appears to be underperforming, with lower PSSA and Keystone Exam proficiency rates across multiple subjects and grade levels compared to the district and state. The high school also has a lower 4-year graduation rate of 87.9% and a higher dropout rate of 1.4%, both of which are less favorable than the state averages. These findings suggest that the high school may need to implement targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes.
