Catasauqua Area School District

The Catasauqua Area School District consists of three schools: Francis H Sheckler Elementary School, Catasauqua Senior High School, and Catasauqua Middle School. The district serves a diverse student population, with a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, particularly at the elementary level.

While Catasauqua Senior High School boasts an impressive 97.5% four-year graduation rate, the district as a whole struggles academically. Test scores across the schools are generally below state averages, with the elementary school's math proficiency rates ranging from 37% to 41.8%. The middle school, however, stands out with relatively strong performance in English Language Arts assessments.

The economic challenges faced by the district's students are reflected in the high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, particularly at Francis H Sheckler Elementary School, where 100% of students qualify. This suggests that the district may need to focus on addressing the needs of its economically disadvantaged population to drive academic improvement across all schools.
