Daniel Boone Area School District

The Daniel Boone Area School District in Pennsylvania operates four schools, including two elementary schools, one middle school, and one high school. The district serves a predominantly white student population, with a significant percentage of economically disadvantaged students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.

Among the district's schools, Daniel Boone Area High School stands out as the academic leader, ranking 173 out of 674 Pennsylvania high schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The high school boasts a strong 92.6% four-year graduation rate, low 1.9% dropout rate, and outperforms the district and state averages in Keystone Exam proficiency for Biology and Literature. In contrast, the Daniel Boone Area Intermediate Center excels in PSSA Math and Science performance, with proficiency rates surpassing the district and state averages.

The district's schools generally perform well on state assessments, with the Daniel Boone Area Middle School receiving the highest per-student funding, which may contribute to its stronger academic performance compared to the elementary schools. However, the district should consider addressing the socioeconomic challenges faced by a significant portion of its student population, as evidenced by the high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch across all schools.
