The data reveals that Frazier High School is the standout performer, ranking 250 out of 681 Pennsylvania high schools and outperforming state and district averages in key academic metrics.

The school also outperforms the state and district in Keystone Exam proficiency for Algebra I, Biology, and Literature.

Across all three schools, the high free/reduced lunch rates, ranging from 48.42% to 57.42%, suggest a relatively economically disadvantaged student population in the 15473 zip code area. The similar spending per student, ranging from $17,224 to $18,410, indicates that funding levels are not the primary driver of the performance differences observed. The lower student-teacher ratios at the middle and high school levels may be a contributing factor to the relatively stronger performance of Frazier High School compared to the elementary and middle schools.
