Summary

Penns Manor Area Junior/Senior High School is a public school serving grades 6-12 in Clymer, PA, with 378 students. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, it has struggled academically compared to the state and surrounding schools. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school had lower proficiency rates than the state average in both Math (29.5% vs 41.7%) and English Language Arts (41.3% vs 48.5%) across all grades, a trend that has persisted over the past several years.

The school's four-year graduation rate has fluctuated, ranging from 87.5% to 98.2% in recent years, and its dropout rate has varied from 0.3% to 1.6%, which is higher than the state's average. Penns Manor Area Junior/Senior High School also has a relatively high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 51.41% to 56.08% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in recent years, significantly higher than the state average and many of the surrounding schools.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Central Cambria High School, United Junior/Senior High School, and Indiana Area Senior High School, Penns Manor Area Junior/Senior High School's academic performance lags behind, with these schools consistently outperforming it in standardized test scores and having higher graduation rates. Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending, ranging from $19,039 to $25,493 in recent years, the academic outcomes do not reflect this level of investment.
