Best Public Schools in Duke Center, PA

Summary:

The city of Duke Center, Pennsylvania has only one public high school, Otto-Eldred Junior/Senior High School, which serves grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 280 students. Despite being the sole school in the area, Otto-Eldred stands out for its strong academic performance, particularly in core subjects like math, science, and English language arts, where its test scores exceed the state averages.

The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 230 out of 537 Pennsylvania high schools in 2020-2021 to 448 out of 634 in 2021-2022, and 403 out of 674 in 2022-2023. This volatility may be worth further investigation, but the school maintains an impressive 100% four-year graduation rate and 0% dropout rate. Additionally, the school has a relatively low student-to-teacher ratio of 13.6, which could contribute to its academic success.

One notable characteristic of Otto-Eldred Junior/Senior High School is the high percentage (39.64%) of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high-need population. Despite this, the school's performance on state assessments suggests it is effectively supporting student learning and providing a quality education to the community served by the Otto-Eldred School District.
