Bald Eagle Area School District

Summary:

The Bald Eagle Area School District in Pennsylvania consists of 5 schools, including 4 elementary schools and 1 middle/high school. The district serves a mix of high-performing and average-performing schools, with a focus on science and English language arts.

Howard Elementary School stands out as the top performer, ranking in the top 10% of Pennsylvania elementary schools with exceptional test scores, high proficiency rates, and a low student-teacher ratio. Mountaintop Area Elementary School also demonstrates strong academic performance, ranking in the top 25% of Pennsylvania elementary schools. Meanwhile, Port Matilda Elementary School performs well above the district and state averages in many areas.

The district's high school, Bald Eagle Area Middle School/Senior High School, has a graduation rate above the state average and a relatively low dropout rate. However, the district as a whole has room for improvement in mathematics proficiency. The district serves a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, with free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 40-48% at the elementary schools, but the district's resource allocation, including above-average per-student spending and low student-teacher ratios, appears to be a strength.
