Summary

Jenkintown Middle/High School is a public school serving 310 students in grades 7-12 in the Jenkintown School District. The school has consistently ranked in the top 25% of Pennsylvania high schools over the past 10 years, with strong academic performance, particularly in English Language Arts. Jenkintown Middle/High School's performance on PSSA and Keystone Exams is generally above the state average, and the school has maintained a high four-year graduation rate and low dropout rates.

One of the school's key strengths is its ability to support the academic achievement of diverse student populations. Jenkintown Middle/High School ranks in the top 30 and top 54 out of hundreds of Pennsylvania high schools for the performance of African American students and low socioeconomic status students, respectively. This suggests the school is effectively meeting the needs of traditionally underserved groups.

When compared to nearby schools in the Philadelphia area, Girls High School, Central High School, and other schools within the Philadelphia City School District, Jenkintown Middle/High School generally outperforms them, particularly in terms of academic achievement and student support. The school's relatively high spending per student and low student-to-teacher ratio suggest the district is investing significant resources into providing a quality education for its students.
