Summary:
The Centennial School District in Pennsylvania has only one high school, William Tennent High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 253 out of 634 Pennsylvania high schools in 2021-2022 to 465 out of 674 in 2022-2023.
Academically, William Tennent High School's proficiency rates on the Keystone Exams in Algebra I, Biology, and Literature have consistently fallen below both the state and Centennial School District averages. The school's 4-year graduation rate of 87.5% is also slightly below the state average. However, the school's dropout rate of 1.6% is relatively low.
Socioeconomic factors may play a role in the school's academic performance, as 33.03% of its students were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year. Despite the school's higher per-student spending of $22,249, which exceeds the state average, the academic challenges suggest that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution to improving student outcomes. Further analysis and targeted interventions may be necessary to address the underlying issues and help William Tennent High School better serve its student population.
