Summary

Sharpsville Area Senior High School is a public high school in Sharpsville, Pennsylvania, serving 345 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Sharpsville Area School District, which is ranked 248 out of 606 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Sharpsville Area Senior High School's academic performance has been inconsistent, with its statewide ranking fluctuating from 57th out of 673 Pennsylvania high schools in 2017-2018 to 343rd out of 681 in 2024-2025. Compared to nearby high-performing schools like Neshannock Junior/Senior High School, Sharpsville's proficiency rates on Keystone Exams in Algebra I, Biology, and Literature are lower. However, the school's performance is generally better than lower-performing nearby schools, such as Farrell Area High School/Ums.

Despite the academic performance challenges, Sharpsville Area Senior High School has maintained relatively high graduation rates, ranging from 87.5% to 94% in recent years, and low dropout rates between 1.1% and 2.9%. The school's significant population of low-socioeconomic status students, with 34.73% to 45.51% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, may be a contributing factor to its academic performance. Targeted interventions and support could help address these challenges and improve the school's overall outcomes.
