Summary

Aliquippa Junior/Senior High School is a public school serving 430 students in grades 7-12 in the Aliquippa School District. Located in Aliquippa, PA, the school consistently ranks in the bottom 10-15% of Pennsylvania high schools and has received 0 or 1 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger, indicating very poor academic performance.

Aliquippa's proficiency rates on state assessments are significantly below state averages across all subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, only 3.4% of Aliquippa students were proficient or better in PSSA Math, compared to the state average of 41.7%. Similarly, only 9.7% were proficient or better in PSSA English Language Arts, compared to 48.5% statewide. The school's 4-year graduation rate of 87-88% is slightly below the state average, and its dropout rate of 0.4-1.6% is higher than the state average.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Cornell High School, Beaver Area Senior High School, and Moon Area Senior High School, Aliquippa's academic performance is significantly worse. These neighboring schools generally have much higher test scores, graduation rates, and overall rankings. Despite spending a relatively high amount per student, ranging from $19,580 to $29,957 in recent years, Aliquippa's poor performance suggests that factors other than funding, such as curriculum, instruction, and school climate, may be contributing to the school's persistent underperformance.
