Best Public Schools in Mount Union, PA


Summary:

The Mount Union, Pennsylvania school district consists of 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district serves a predominantly white student population, with high rates of economic disadvantage as indicated by the 100% free/reduced lunch eligibility across the elementary and middle schools.

While Shirley Township Elementary School stands out for its relatively strong academic performance, with proficiency rates above the state average on some PSSA exams, the overall academic achievement across the district is concerning. Mount Union Area Senior High School has seen a decline in its state ranking, and proficiency rates on the Keystone Exams and PSSA tests are well below the state averages, particularly in math and English language arts.

The high rates of economic disadvantage in the community may be contributing to the academic challenges faced by the schools in the Mount Union Area School District. With per-student spending above the state average, the district may need to focus on targeted interventions, attracting and retaining high-quality teachers, and providing adequate resources to support student learning and address the significant disparities in academic achievement.
