Summary:
The city of Jeannette, Pennsylvania is home to 5 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, serving students from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds across two school districts.
The standout schools in the area are Penn Middle School, which consistently ranks among the top 30 middle schools in Pennsylvania and maintains exceptional test scores, and McCullough Elementary School, which ranks in the top 55 elementary schools statewide with over 80% of students proficient or better in math and English language arts. Another strong performer is Harrison Park Elementary School, which ranks in the top 119 elementary schools in Pennsylvania with impressive test scores, particularly in math and science.
The data reveals a stark performance gap between the Penn-Trafford School District schools, which consistently outperform the state and district averages, and the Jeannette City School District schools, which lag behind in academic achievement. This disparity may be attributed to factors such as funding, resources, teacher quality, and socioeconomic differences in the student populations, as evidenced by the high free/reduced lunch rates at the Jeannette City schools.
