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, both part of the Minersville Area School District. The high school serves grades 7-12 with an enrollment of 527 students, while the elementary school serves grades 1-6 with 466 students.

The high school has a relatively low statewide ranking, placing 475th out of 674 Pennsylvania high schools, and receives a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Its 4-year graduation rate of 84.3% is below the state average, and student performance on standardized tests is generally below state averages. In contrast, the elementary school has a statewide ranking of 890th out of 1,534 Pennsylvania elementary schools, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. Student performance at the elementary level is mixed, with some grade levels exceeding state averages and others falling behind.

Both schools face significant challenges, with over 95% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating high levels of economic disadvantage in the community. This socioeconomic factor likely plays a role in the academic performance of the schools, which warrants further investigation and targeted interventions. Additionally, the racial demographics of the schools, with a majority white student population and significant Hispanic and African American populations, raise questions about equity and access to educational opportunities that require further analysis.
