Summary

Mohawk Senior High School is a public high school located in New Castle, Pennsylvania, serving 434 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Mohawk Area School District, which is ranked 90 out of 606 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Mohawk Senior High School consistently ranks in the top 25% of Pennsylvania high schools, with a current ranking of 156 out of 681 schools. The school's Keystone Exam proficiency rates are significantly higher than the state averages, particularly in Literature (70.2% vs. 62.1%) and Algebra I (64.8% vs. 44.3%). Mohawk's performance on the Keystone Exams has been relatively stable over the past few years, with only a slight dip in the 2021-2022 school year. The school also stands out for its exceptional performance for male students and students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, ranking 125 and 116 out of Pennsylvania high schools, respectively, in 2024-2025.

Compared to nearby schools, Mohawk Senior High School outperforms most in academic metrics, such as Keystone Exam proficiency rates and student subgroup performance. Schools like Laurel High School and Neshannock Junior/Senior High School, which are also highly ranked in the state, are the closest competitors to Mohawk in terms of academic excellence. Despite having a relatively high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, Mohawk Senior High School's academic performance and student subgroup outcomes suggest that it is effectively supporting its economically disadvantaged students.
