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 are part of the Tyrone Area School District.
Tyrone Area High School stands out as the top-performing school in the district, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and strong academic results, including high Keystone Exam proficiency rates in Algebra I, Biology, and Literature. The school also boasts an impressive 87.5% 4-year graduation rate and a low 1.6% dropout rate. In contrast, Tyrone Area Elementary School demonstrates consistent academic performance, particularly in science, where it significantly outperforms the district and state averages on PSSA tests.
While Tyrone Area Middle School has mixed results, with some grade levels performing above the district and state averages and others falling behind, the district as a whole faces challenges related to socioeconomic factors, as evidenced by the high free/reduced lunch rates, especially at the elementary and middle school levels. Additionally, the variation in spending per student across the schools suggests that resource allocation and distribution may be an area to explore further to ensure equitable funding and support for all students.
