Summary:
The Antietam Middle School/High School is the sole high school serving the Antietam School District in Pennsylvania. The school has faced challenges in academic performance, with consistently lower proficiency rates compared to district and state averages, particularly in math. However, the school maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio and high per-student spending, suggesting potential opportunities for more effective resource allocation and targeted interventions to address these performance gaps.
Antietam Middle School/High School's four-year graduation rate stands at 87.5%, with a low dropout rate of 1.6%. On standardized tests, the school's proficiency rates lag behind district and state averages in math, science, and English language arts, though its performance on the Keystone Exams is more mixed, with lower Algebra I proficiency but higher Literature proficiency. The school also serves a high percentage of students from low-income families, with 57.48% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
Over the past three years, the school's statewide ranking has declined, from 379 out of 634 Pennsylvania high schools in 2021-2022 to 417 out of 686 in 2023-2024. This trend suggests the need for the school and district to implement strategies to reverse the decline and improve overall academic performance. Addressing the challenges faced by Antietam Middle School/High School will require a comprehensive approach, including targeted interventions, resource allocation, and collaboration with the community to support student success.
