Summary:
The city of Mercersburg, Pennsylvania is home to 5 schools that serve students from elementary through high school, all part of the Tuscarora School District. The data reveals a mix of high-performing and struggling schools, with stark differences in academic achievement across the district.
Mercersburg Elementary School and Mountain View Elementary School stand out as the top performers, ranking in the top 30-35% of Pennsylvania elementary schools. These schools have particularly strong math and science results, with over 60% and 80% of students proficient, respectively. In contrast, Montgomery Elementary School lags behind its peers across all subject areas.
At the secondary level, James Buchanan High School has shown some improvement in recent years, but its Keystone Exam results still trail the state average, especially in Algebra I and Literature. The middle school also struggles, with PSSA math scores below the state and district averages. Addressing these academic gaps at the secondary level could be a priority for the Tuscarora School District.
