Blacklick Valley School District


Summary:

The Blacklick Valley School District in Pennsylvania operates two schools: Blacklick Valley Elementary Center and Blacklick Valley Junior/Senior High School. While the elementary school demonstrates strong academic performance, the high school struggles in several areas, particularly in math and science proficiency.

The Blacklick Valley Elementary Center outperforms the state average in PSSA Math and English Language Arts proficiency across multiple grade levels, and its 4th-grade science proficiency rate of 81.8% is significantly higher than the state average of 74.1%. In contrast, the Blacklick Valley Junior/Senior High School has a lower 4-year graduation rate of 78.9% compared to the state average, and only 19.4% of 7th graders and 41.3% of 8th graders scored proficient or better in PSSA Math, well below the state averages.

The Blacklick Valley School District faces significant socioeconomic challenges, with both schools having high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Despite the higher-than-average per-student spending and low student-teacher ratios, the academic performance at the high school level remains a concern, suggesting potential equity and opportunity gaps within the district.
