Best Public Schools in Tower City, PA


Summary:

The city of Tower City, Pennsylvania is home to two schools that are part of the Williams Valley School District: Williams Valley Elementary School and Williams Valley Junior/Senior High School. Both schools perform significantly below state averages on standardized tests, with the elementary school ranking in the bottom 25% of Pennsylvania elementary schools and the high school ranking in the bottom 25% of Pennsylvania high schools.

The schools' test scores in math, science, and English language arts are all well below the state averages, with the elementary school having only 26.1% of students proficient or better in math and the high school at just 13.7% proficient or better. Graduation rates at the high school are also below the state average at 87.5%. Both schools serve a high-poverty student population, with nearly all students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

Despite the low academic performance, the schools appear to have adequate funding and resources, with relatively high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratios. This suggests that the issue may not be a lack of resources, but rather how those resources are being utilized. The schools' performance has remained stagnant or even declined over the past three years, indicating a need for a comprehensive review of the district's educational strategies and practices to improve student outcomes.
