Antietam School District

The Antietam School District in Pennsylvania operates three schools: two elementary schools (Mt Penn Elementary School and Mt Penn Primary Center) and one combined middle/high school (Antietam Middle School/High School). The district serves a diverse student population, with a significant Hispanic/Latino representation and lower percentages of white and African American students.

While Mt Penn Elementary School has the highest per-student spending and the lowest student-teacher ratio, its academic performance, as measured by PSSA test scores, is generally below the district and state averages. In contrast, Mt Penn Primary Center has the highest rate of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch and the highest student-teacher ratio, but lacks statewide ranking information to assess its performance. The Antietam Middle School/High School struggles academically, with low PSSA and Keystone Exam proficiency rates, and has a graduation rate below the state average.

The data reveals significant disparities in academic performance across the Antietam School District, with proficiency rates well below the state averages in most subject areas and grade levels. This suggests the need for targeted interventions and strategies to improve student learning and achievement, as well as address potential equity concerns related to funding and resource allocation within the district.
