High Schools in Upper St. Clair School District


Summary:

The Upper St. Clair School District in Pennsylvania is home to a single high school, Upper Saint Clair High School, which has consistently ranked among the top 25 high schools in the state over the past three school years. This standout institution has maintained a 5-star rating from School Digger, indicating it is one of the top-performing schools in Pennsylvania.

Upper Saint Clair High School's academic excellence is evident across several key metrics. The school boasts a high four-year graduation rate of 87.5% and a low dropout rate of 1.6%, both of which are significantly better than the state averages. Additionally, the school's students consistently outperform the state average on Keystone Exams, with a higher percentage of students scoring proficient or better in Algebra I, Biology, and Literature.

The school's success can be attributed to a combination of factors, including a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.9 and a high level of per-student spending at $24,055, which is significantly higher than the state average. However, the data also suggests that the school's student population may not be representative of the broader community, with a relatively low percentage of students (12.11%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively affluent student population. This raises concerns about equity and access to high-quality education for all students in the area.
