Best Public Schools in Armagh, PA

Summary:

The city of Armagh, Pennsylvania is home to two schools: United Elementary School and United Junior/Senior High School, both part of the United School District. While United Elementary maintains solid academic performance, the standout institution in the district is the high school, which ranks in the top 7.5% of Pennsylvania high schools and boasts exceptional graduation and proficiency rates.

United Junior/Senior High School is a shining star, earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger and ranking 50th out of 674 high schools statewide. Its 95.8% four-year graduation rate and minuscule 0.4% dropout rate are remarkable, and students excel on state assessments, with over 50% proficient in Algebra I, 74% in Biology, and 86% in Literature - all well above state averages. In contrast, while United Elementary performs respectably, it does not stand out as strongly, ranking in the middle of Pennsylvania elementary schools with a 3-star rating.

The data also reveals potential equity concerns, as United Elementary has a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch compared to the high school, suggesting lower-income students may be more concentrated at the elementary level. Additionally, the significantly higher per-student spending at the high school level compared to the elementary school may indicate a focus on investing more resources in the secondary education program.
