Best Public Schools in Industry, PA

Summary:

The city of Industry, Pennsylvania has only one public high school, Western Beaver County Junior/Senior High School, which serves students in grades 7-12. This school has seen its statewide ranking fluctuate in recent years, ranging from 304 out of 686 Pennsylvania high schools in 2023-2024 to 376 out of 674 in 2022-2023 and 351 out of 634 in 2021-2022.

Western Beaver County Junior/Senior High School has a mixed performance on standardized tests, outperforming the state average in PSSA Math, PSSA Science, and PSSA English Language Arts, but underperforming in Keystone Exams for Algebra I and Literature. The school's four-year graduation rate for 2022-2023 was 87.5%, which is above the state average, and its dropout rate for 2022-2023 was 1.6%, which is lower than the state average. The school has a student-teacher ratio of 10.5, which is lower than the state average, and its per-student spending for 2021-2022 was $18,334, which is higher than the state average.

While the school has consistently outperformed the state average in PSSA English Language Arts, its performance in PSSA Math and Science has been more variable. The school's struggles with Keystone Exams, particularly in Algebra I and Literature, suggest an area for improvement. Additionally, with a significant proportion of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, the school may face challenges in supporting the needs of its economically disadvantaged population. However, the school's higher per-student spending compared to the state average suggests that it may have access to more resources, which could contribute to its overall performance.
