Dunmore School District

The Dunmore School District in Pennsylvania serves students from elementary through high school, with two schools in the district: Dunmore Elementary Center and Dunmore Junior/Senior High School. The data reveals that Dunmore Elementary Center consistently outperforms the district and state averages in PSSA tests, particularly in Science, while Dunmore Junior/Senior High School struggles with PSSA Math proficiency but maintains a relatively high graduation rate.

Dunmore Elementary Center stands out for its exceptional performance in PSSA Science, with over 80% of students proficient or better in the last two school years. The school also demonstrates strong results in PSSA English Language Arts, with proficiency rates above the state average across all grade levels. However, the school serves a high-need student population, with 100% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. In contrast, Dunmore Junior/Senior High School has a relatively high graduation rate of 87.5% and a low dropout rate of 1.6%, but struggles with PSSA Math performance, with proficiency rates well below the state average.

Both schools in the Dunmore School District have relatively low student-teacher ratios, with Dunmore Elementary Center at 13.1 and Dunmore Junior/Senior High School at 13.8. The data suggests that the district serves a predominantly low-income population, which may contribute to the academic challenges faced by the schools, particularly in areas like PSSA Math performance. While Dunmore Elementary Center has maintained a consistent 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, Dunmore Junior/Senior High School has seen a gradual improvement, moving from 1 star to 2 stars in the last three school years.
