The district serves a population facing significant economic challenges, with all elementary and middle schools having 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

Among the standout schools in the district is Hasson Heights School, an elementary school that has the highest proficiency rates on PSSA exams across all grades, outperforming the Oil City Area School District and state averages. In contrast, the district's Oil City Senior High School has shown improvement in recent years, with its Keystone Exam proficiency rates increasing, even though it still lags the state average.

Continued focus on effective instructional practices and resource allocation could help the district better serve its students and address the significant socioeconomic challenges they face.
