Summary

Greensburg-Salem High School is a public high school serving 786 students in grades 9-12 in Greensburg, Pennsylvania, which is part of the Greensburg Salem School District. While the school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking and rating in recent years, it continues to provide education to a diverse student population with varying academic performance across different student subgroups.

The school's academic achievement, as measured by Keystone Exam proficiency rates, has been below the state average in most subject areas, including Algebra I, Biology, and Literature. However, the school's graduation rate has remained relatively stable, ranging from 87.5% to 89.4% in recent years, which is slightly below the state average. The school's dropout rate has also been relatively low, ranging from 1.4% to 2.4% in recent years. Compared to nearby high-performing schools, such as Norwin High School and Franklin Regional Senior High School, Greensburg-Salem High School's performance is generally lower, but it performs better than some of the lower-performing nearby schools, such as Jeannette High School.

The school's high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with the free and reduced-price lunch rate ranging from 36.1% to 100% in recent years, may be a contributing factor to the school's lower academic performance. The school's per-student spending has increased over the years, from $15,136 in 2020-2021 to $17,554 in 2022-2023, but the school's student-teacher ratio has remained relatively high, ranging from 13.5 to 14.9 in recent years, which may indicate a need for additional teaching resources to support student learning.
