Best Public Schools in Nanty Glo, PA

Summary:

The city of Nanty Glo, Pennsylvania is home to two schools: Blacklick Valley Elementary Center and Blacklick Valley Junior/Senior High School, which serve students from the Blacklick Valley School District. While the elementary school performs relatively well on standardized tests, the junior/senior high school struggles, particularly in math and Keystone Exams. Both schools face significant socioeconomic challenges, with a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

The Blacklick Valley Elementary Center stands out for its high performance on PSSA Math and English Language Arts tests, with 3 out of 5 SchoolDigger stars. However, the Blacklick Valley Junior/Senior High School has seen a decline in its SchoolDigger rating, dropping from 2 stars to 1 star. This suggests a potential disconnect in the academic progression and support between the elementary and secondary levels.

Despite the challenges, the schools in Nanty Glo have some positive attributes. The Blacklick Valley Junior/Senior High School maintains a relatively high four-year graduation rate of 78.9% and a low dropout rate of 1.7%. Both schools also have relatively low student-teacher ratios, which could be beneficial for personalized attention and support. However, the overall academic performance and socioeconomic factors indicate a need for further investigation and targeted interventions to improve the educational outcomes for students in the Nanty Glo area.
