Summary:
The Susquehanna, Pennsylvania area is home to two schools - Susquehanna Community Elementary School and Susquehanna Community Junior/Senior High School - which are part of the Susquehanna Community School District. While the high school outperforms the elementary school on several key metrics, both schools face challenges in serving a high population of economically disadvantaged students.
The Susquehanna Community Junior/Senior High School stands out as the stronger performer, ranking 223 out of 686 Pennsylvania high schools and earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The high school has a higher 4-year graduation rate of 87.5% and outperforms the state average on Keystone Exams in Algebra I, Biology, and Literature. In contrast, the elementary school's PSSA test scores are generally below the state average, particularly in math.
However, both schools have very high free/reduced lunch rates, over 97%, indicating a high level of economically disadvantaged students in the Susquehanna community. This suggests the district and schools may need to explore additional support and resources to help these students succeed academically. Overall, the data provides a nuanced picture of the schools in Susquehanna, with the high school showing stronger performance but both schools facing challenges in certain areas.
