Best Public Schools in Tioga, PA


Summary:

The city of Tioga, Pennsylvania is home to two schools - Williamson Senior High School and Russell B Walter Elementary School, both part of the Northern Tioga School District. While the schools share some common challenges, such as a high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, they also exhibit distinct strengths and areas for improvement.

Williamson Senior High School has seen a significant improvement in its statewide ranking, moving from the bottom quartile to the middle quartile in recent years, suggesting the school has made positive strides. However, test scores at the school are generally below state averages, with some exceptions in Keystone Exams for Biology and Literature. The school's graduation rate is strong at 90.6%, but the dropout rate is still 1.5%, indicating room for further improvement.

In contrast, Russell B Walter Elementary School has the highest student-teacher ratio among the district's elementary schools, which could be an area of concern. While the school's PSSA Math scores in grades 3-5 are above average, its overall test scores are still below state averages. Like Williamson Senior High School, Russell B Walter Elementary also has a very high percentage of white students, well above the state average, raising questions about the diversity and inclusiveness of the school community.
