Best Public Schools in Towanda, PA


Summary:

The city of Towanda, Pennsylvania is home to 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools and 2 high schools, serving students from grades 3 through 12. The schools in this predominantly white, high-poverty district face significant challenges in supporting their students' academic and social-emotional needs.

Towanda Area Junior/Senior High School stands out as the largest school with 720 students and a relatively strong 89.5% 4-year graduation rate. However, the school's academic performance is mixed, with some areas above the state average (e.g., 66.3% proficient in 8th grade science) and others below (e.g., 21.1% proficient in Algebra I). In contrast, Towanda Area Elementary School serves 443 students in grades 3-6 and has a 100% free/reduced lunch rate, indicating a high-need student population with academic performance on par with or slightly below state averages.

Across the district, the schools have a predominantly white student population, ranging from 95.69% to 97.14% white students, and high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, from 89.86% to 100%. This lack of diversity and high poverty levels suggest the need for targeted interventions and support to improve student learning outcomes and provide equitable opportunities for all students in the Towanda Area School District.
