Both schools are part of the Northern Potter School District, which is ranked 413 out of 610 districts in Pennsylvania and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While the elementary school excels in PSSA Science proficiency, both schools perform below the state average in other key academic areas.

Both schools have relatively high free/reduced lunch rates, indicating that their student populations come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

The schools' academic struggles are reflected in their low statewide rankings and ratings, suggesting that the Ulysses community may need to work closely with the district and state education authorities to develop and implement a comprehensive plan to address the schools' challenges and improve educational outcomes for their students. The high spending per student, especially at the junior/senior high school, also raises questions about the efficient allocation of resources and the need to explore ways to improve the effectiveness of the schools' educational programs.
