Summary:
The Armstrong School District in Pennsylvania consists of 8 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools. The district serves a diverse student population, with all schools having 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating high levels of poverty across the area.
Within the district, a few schools stand out for their exceptional performance. West Shamokin Junior/Senior High School is consistently ranked among the top high schools in Pennsylvania, with high proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Science. Dayton Elementary School and Shannock Valley Elementary School are also top-performing elementary schools, with exceptional results in Math, Science, and English Language Arts.
While the district as a whole is rated 3 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, there is a wide range of performance among the individual schools. The high-performing schools demonstrate the potential for success, even in a high-poverty district. However, the significant variation in outcomes raises concerns about equity and the need to ensure all students have access to the resources and support they need to thrive.
