Summary:
The Duncannon, Pennsylvania area is home to three schools - Susquenita Elementary School, Susquenita Middle School, and Susquenita High School - all part of the Susquenita School District. These schools serve students from elementary through high school and provide a range of academic programs and resources.
Among the three schools, Susquenita Elementary School stands out as the strongest performer, with higher proficiency rates in PSSA Science and English Language Arts compared to the district and state averages. Susquenita Middle School also performs better than the district and state in PSSA English Language Arts and maintains a relatively low dropout rate. However, the schools generally struggle with lower-than-average proficiency rates in PSSA Math, indicating a need to focus on improving math skills across the district.
Despite some areas of stronger performance, the schools in the Duncannon area have middle to lower range statewide rankings, suggesting room for improvement in academic outcomes. Additionally, the high free/reduced lunch rates across all three schools highlight the need to address socioeconomic challenges and ensure equitable access to educational resources. The relatively low student-teacher ratios, however, suggest a focus on small class sizes, which could be a positive factor in student learning and support.
