Summary

Shanksville-Stonycreek High School is a small public high school in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, serving grades 9-12 with a student population of just 89. The school is part of the Shanksville-Stonycreek School District, which is ranked 412 out of 606 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Shanksville-Stonycreek High School's performance has been inconsistent, with its statewide ranking fluctuating significantly over the years, from a high of 105 out of 634 Pennsylvania high schools in 2021-2022 to a low of 494 out of 663 in 2016-2017. Its current ranking for the 2024-2025 school year is 409 out of 681 high schools, with a 2-star rating. The school's test scores have also been mixed, with proficiency rates in Algebra I, Biology, and Literature falling both above and below the state averages in recent years. However, the school has maintained a relatively high four-year graduation rate, ranging from 87.5% to 100% in recent years, and a low dropout rate of around 0-1.6%.

When compared to nearby high schools, such as Richland High School, Shanksville-Stonycreek High School generally performs below average. Richland High School, located about 17 miles away, consistently ranks higher and has stronger test scores and graduation rates. Additionally, the significant fluctuations in Shanksville-Stonycreek High School's spending per student, from $17,573 to $298, suggest that the school's funding may be unstable or subject to significant changes over time, which could be a contributing factor to its mixed academic outcomes.

The Shanksville-Stonycreek School District is one of the better school districts in South-Central PA. It has always made AYP and the students receive individualized attention. There are plenty of activities for the students to participate in, such as: Football, Golf, Wrestling, Tennis, Soccer, Basketball, Rifle, Track and Field, Baseball, Softball, Band, Chorus, Art, and Drama. In 2008, it was ranked one of the top ten High Schools in the United States by US News and World Report. I give the school district high marks. If you are looking for a good school for your children, Shanksville is the best place for them. Close Quote
