Best Public Schools in Tyrone, PA

Summary:

The city of Tyrone, Pennsylvania is home to three schools that serve students from elementary through high school: Tyrone Area Elementary School, Tyrone Area High School, and Tyrone Area Middle School. These schools, part of the Tyrone Area School District, demonstrate a range of academic performance, with the high school standing out as a top-ranked institution in the state.

Tyrone Area High School is the clear standout, ranking 45th out of 674 Pennsylvania high schools and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school boasts impressive academic results, with over 80% of students proficient in Biology and Literature, significantly outperforming state averages. Additionally, the high school maintains a high graduation rate of 94.9% and a low dropout rate of 1.8%, indicating a high level of student success. In contrast, the elementary and middle schools show more mixed results, with the elementary school performing well in certain subject areas like 4th-grade Science, while the middle school's math performance is more variable across grade levels.

Despite the schools' overall strong performance, there are some areas of concern. The student populations across all three schools are predominantly white, with relatively low percentages of minority students. This lack of diversity may be an opportunity for the district to explore and address. Additionally, the significant differences in per-student spending, with the high school receiving the highest funding, suggest potential inequities in resource allocation that could impact educational outcomes. As the district continues to support its students, addressing these areas of concern may help ensure that all Tyrone students receive a well-rounded and equitable education.
