Blue Ridge School District

The Blue Ridge School District in Pennsylvania operates three schools: Blue Ridge Elementary School, Blue Ridge High School, and Blue Ridge Middle School. The data reveals that Blue Ridge Elementary School is the standout performer, consistently scoring above district and state averages on PSSA tests in Math, Science, and English Language Arts. In contrast, Blue Ridge Middle School struggles with Math proficiency, with only 19.1% of students scoring proficient or better, compared to 40.4% statewide.

Blue Ridge High School also performs well, with a solid 87.5% graduation rate and a low 1.6% dropout rate. The school's Keystone Exam proficiency rates in Literature, Biology, and Algebra I exceed district and state averages. Across all three schools, the district serves a predominantly low-income student population, with free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 93.79% at the high school to 100% at the elementary and middle schools.

The data suggests that the Blue Ridge School District is allocating more resources to the elementary school, with the highest spending per student at $19,130 in 2021-2022. This focus on early intervention and support may be contributing to the elementary school's strong academic performance. However, the middle school's struggles in Math proficiency indicate a need for targeted improvement efforts in that area.
