Best Public Schools in Pocono Summit, PA


Summary:

The Pocono Summit area of Pennsylvania is home to two schools - Pocono Mountain West High School and Pocono Mountain West Junior High School, both part of the Pocono Mountain School District. While the schools serve different grade levels, the data suggests they face similar challenges in terms of academic performance and socioeconomic factors.

Neither school stands out as a top performer, with both receiving a 2-out-of-5-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating average to below-average performance compared to other schools in Pennsylvania. Standardized test scores at both the high school and junior high school are below the district and state averages, highlighting the need for improvement in academic achievement. Additionally, a high percentage of students at both schools (over 60%) receive free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting significant socioeconomic challenges facing the schools and their communities.

The relatively low statewide rankings of the schools, coupled with their 2-star ratings, suggest that the Pocono Mountain School District as a whole may be struggling to provide high-quality education to its students. However, the junior high school's lower student-teacher ratio compared to the high school may indicate a greater focus on personalized attention and support for younger students, which could be a positive factor. Overall, the data suggests that the schools in the Pocono Summit area face significant challenges, and further analysis and targeted interventions may be necessary to improve the quality of education and outcomes for students in this district.
