Clarion Area School District

The Clarion Area School District in Pennsylvania operates two schools: Clarion Area Elementary School and Clarion Area Junior/Senior High School. Both schools are performing reasonably well, with consistent academic achievement and a diverse student population, though the elementary school serves a more economically disadvantaged community.

Academically, both schools excel, with PSSA and Keystone Exam scores generally above the state averages. Clarion Area Elementary School has strong performance in Math and English Language Arts, while Clarion Area Junior/Senior High School maintains high scores in Math, Science, and English Language Arts. The junior/senior high school also boasts a respectable 85.3% four-year graduation rate, indicating effective support for its students.

In terms of student demographics, both schools have a predominantly white population, with small percentages of African American, Hispanic, and Asian students. However, the elementary school serves a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students, with 59.86% of its students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, compared to 41.16% at the junior/senior high school. This suggests the elementary school may require additional resources to address the needs of its more diverse student body.
