The data reveals several standout schools and key insights about the academic performance, graduation rates, and demographics of these institutions.
Pocono Mountain East High School emerges as the highest-performing school, ranking 154 out of 686 Pennsylvania high schools and consistently outperforming the district and state averages on Keystone Exams. The school also boasts a low dropout rate of 1.6% and a high four-year graduation rate of 87.5%.

The data also reveals that Swiftwater Elementary Center consistently outperforms the district and state averages on PSSA Math and English Language Arts tests, indicating it may be a strong elementary school option in the area. However, the higher percentages of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at the elementary and middle schools compared to the high school suggest potential socioeconomic disparities within the district that could impact student outcomes. The variation in spending per student across the schools also suggests differences in resource allocation and funding priorities within the Pocono Mountain School District.
