Best Public Schools in Minersville, PA

Summary:

The city of Minersville, Pennsylvania is home to two schools: Minersville Area Junior/Senior High School and Minersville Area Elementary Center. These schools serve students from the Minersville Area School District, which is ranked 445 out of 610 districts in Pennsylvania and rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

The data shows that Minersville Area Elementary Center is a standout performer, with higher test scores compared to district and state averages in subjects like PSSA Science and English Language Arts. In contrast, Minersville Area Junior/Senior High School struggles academically, with lower test scores than the district and state, particularly in PSSA Math and Keystone Exams. Both schools have very high rates of free and reduced lunch recipients, indicating significant economic challenges in the community.

While the elementary school is performing relatively well, the high school's declining statewide ranking over the past few years suggests opportunities for improvement. The district may be able to identify and replicate successful practices from the elementary level to help boost outcomes at the secondary level. Addressing the economic disadvantages faced by students will also be crucial in supporting academic success across both schools.
