Summary

Bucktail High School is a public high school located in Renovo, Pennsylvania, serving grades 9-12 with a relatively small student population of 120. The school is part of the Keystone Central School District, which is ranked 387 out of 606 school districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Bucktail High School has shown significant variability in its academic performance over the years, ranging from a high statewide ranking of 104 out of 634 Pennsylvania high schools in 2021-2022 (4-star rating) to a low of 586 out of 681 in 2024-2025 (1-star rating). The school has particularly struggled with the performance of specific student subgroups, such as ranking 569 out of 660 for male students and 566 out of 583 for white students in 2024-2025. While Bucktail High School has relatively strong graduation rates, its dropout rates have been higher than the state average.

Compared to the only nearby school in the same district, Central Mountain High School, Bucktail High School has generally performed worse on various metrics, including statewide ranking, test scores, and graduation rates. This suggests that the challenges faced by Bucktail High School may be unique to the school itself, rather than the broader district. Additionally, the high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at Bucktail High School indicates that the school may be serving a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, which could be a contributing factor to its lower academic performance.
