Summary:
The city of Brookville, Pennsylvania is home to 4 schools, including 3 elementary schools and 1 junior/senior high school, all part of the Brookville Area School District. The data reveals a mix of high-performing and average-performing schools, with Brookville Junior/Senior High School and Hickory Grove Elementary School standing out as the top performers in the district.
Hickory Grove Elementary School consistently outperformed the district and state averages in PSSA assessments across multiple subject areas and grade levels, ranking 458 out of 1,526 Pennsylvania elementary schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. Meanwhile, Brookville Junior/Senior High School demonstrated high proficiency rates in Keystone Exams and maintained a relatively low dropout rate of 1.6% in 2022-2023, ranking 83 out of 686 Pennsylvania high schools and also earning a 4-star rating.
The data also reveals some disparities, with the elementary schools having higher percentages of free/reduced lunch recipients and generally lower proficiency rates on PSSA assessments compared to the high school. This suggests that socioeconomic factors may be influencing academic performance, and the district may need to explore ways to provide additional support and resources to these schools. Additionally, the variation in student-teacher ratios across the schools could be an area for the district to examine, as smaller class sizes are often associated with better student outcomes.
