Carbondale Area School District


Summary:

The Carbondale Area School District in Pennsylvania operates two schools: Carbondale Area Junior/Senior High School and Carbondale Elementary School. Both schools are performing significantly below average compared to state-wide metrics, with consistently low rankings and ratings over the past few years.

The junior/senior high school ranks 500 out of 674 Pennsylvania high schools and has a 1-star rating, while the elementary school ranks 1236 out of 1534 Pennsylvania elementary schools, also with a 1-star rating. Proficiency rates in core academic subjects like math and science are well below the state averages at both schools. For example, only 13.3% of 7th graders and 5.6% of 8th graders at the junior/senior high school were proficient or better in PSSA/Math, compared to the state averages of 33.2% and 26%, respectively.

Despite the relatively high per-student spending at both schools, the district is facing significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students. The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch suggests that the district may be facing socioeconomic challenges that could be impacting student performance. Addressing these issues will require a comprehensive, data-driven approach that addresses both academic and socioeconomic factors to improve educational outcomes for the students in the Carbondale Area School District.
