Best Public Schools in Westover, PA

Summary:

The city of Westover, Pennsylvania is home to two schools that have demonstrated strong academic performance and personalized learning environments: Harmony Area Elementary School and Harmony Area Junior/Senior High School. Both schools have consistently high proficiency rates on standardized tests, with Harmony Area Elementary School's 4th grade PSSA Math and Science scores particularly impressive. Harmony Area Junior/Senior High School also stands out for its exceptional Keystone Exam results in Biology and Literature.

The schools' small class sizes, with student-teacher ratios of 8.6 and 5.8 respectively, suggest a highly personalized learning environment that may contribute to their academic success. However, the high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, particularly the 100% rate at Harmony Area Elementary School, indicates a significant level of economic disadvantage among the student populations.

Despite the challenges posed by high poverty levels, both schools have shown consistent improvement in their SchoolDigger rankings over the past few years, with Harmony Area Elementary School moving from a 2-star to a 4-star rating and Harmony Area Junior/Senior High School moving from a 1-star to a 4-star rating. This suggests the schools are making positive strides in their educational outcomes and providing a high-quality learning experience for their students.
