Among the three schools, the standout performer is Claysburg-Kimmel Junior High School, which is ranked 251 out of 891 Pennsylvania middle schools and has a 4 out of 5 star rating. The junior high school outperformed the district and state averages in PSSA English Language Arts proficiency and had a significantly higher 8th-grade PSSA Science proficiency rate compared to the state average. In contrast, the elementary and high schools had more mixed performance, with some grades exceeding state averages in certain subjects while others fell behind.

The data also reveals that the Claysburg-Kimmel School District serves a relatively low-income student population, with 100% of students at the elementary and junior high schools receiving free or reduced-price lunch. The high school has a slightly lower but still significant 77.01% free/reduced lunch rate. This suggests the district may face challenges in providing resources and support to its students, making the strong performance of the junior high school all the more impressive.
