Summary:
The Bentworth School District consists of three schools: Bentworth Elementary Center, Bentworth Senior High School, and Bentworth Middle School. The district's schools serve students from elementary through high school, providing a comprehensive educational experience.
Bentworth Elementary Center stands out as the highest-performing school in the district, consistently outperforming the district and state averages on PSSA tests. The school's strong academic performance, with 72% proficiency in ELA and 90.5% proficiency in Science, suggests it is providing a solid foundation for student learning. In contrast, Bentworth Middle School struggles with PSSA Math, with only 23.2% proficiency, well below the district and state averages.
Bentworth Senior High School also demonstrates strong performance, with a high graduation rate of 87.5% and a low dropout rate of 1.6%. The school's smaller student-teacher ratio of 6.3 may contribute to its success on Keystone Exams, where it achieves 72% proficiency in Literature for 11th grade. However, the district's schools face challenges, such as high free/reduced lunch rates, which may require additional resources and support to ensure equitable opportunities for all students.
