Summary

Shenandoah Valley Junior/Senior High School is a public school serving grades 7-12 in Shenandoah, Pennsylvania, with a total enrollment of 539 students. The school is part of the Shenandoah Valley School District, which is ranked 522 out of 606 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Shenandoah Valley Junior/Senior High School consistently ranks in the bottom 25% of Pennsylvania high schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past 10 years. The school's performance on standardized tests, such as the PSSA and Keystone Exams, is significantly below the state averages, particularly in Math, where only 6-7% of students are proficient or better, compared to the state average of around 30-40%. The school's four-year graduation rate has been around 87-89%, slightly below the state average, and its dropout rate has been between 1.4-2.9%, slightly higher than the state average.

Nearby schools, such as Schuylkill Haven Senior High School, Blue Mountain High School, and Tamaqua Area Senior High School, all have higher academic performance, graduation rates, and lower dropout rates compared to Shenandoah Valley Junior/Senior High School. The high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds at Shenandoah Valley, around 95-100% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, is likely a significant factor contributing to the school's poor academic performance.
