Summary:
The 18810 zip code in Pennsylvania is home to a single high school, Athens Area High School, which serves students in grades 9-12 within the Athens Area School District. Based on the available data, Athens Area High School is a relatively low-performing school, ranking 427 out of 681 Pennsylvania high schools for the 2024-2025 school year and earning a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
The school's academic performance is consistently below the state average on Keystone Exams, with proficiency rates of 40.7% in Algebra I, 45.5% in Biology, and 53.4% in Literature, compared to statewide averages of 44.3%, 49.3%, and 62.1%, respectively. Additionally, the school's four-year graduation rate of 87.9% and dropout rate of 1.4% for the 2023-2024 school year suggest room for improvement in student outcomes.
Despite the school's relatively high spending of $19,148 per student for the 2022-2023 school year and a student-teacher ratio of 17:1, these resources do not appear to be translating into better academic performance. Furthermore, the school serves a student population with significant economic challenges, as 100% of its students receive free or reduced-price lunch. This high poverty level may be a contributing factor to the school's below-average academic results, which have declined in the school's statewide ranking over the past three years.
