Summary:
The Dunmore School District in Pennsylvania has only one high school, Dunmore Junior/Senior High School, which serves students in grades 7-12. The school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from 354 out of 686 Pennsylvania high schools in 2023-2024 to 528 out of 634 in 2021-2022.
Dunmore Junior/Senior High School's academic performance is mixed, with proficiency rates below the state average in Math and Algebra I, but above average in English Language Arts and Literature. The school's four-year graduation rate for 2022-2023 was 87.5%, slightly below the state average, while its dropout rate of 1.6% is relatively low. The school serves a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 90.57% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, and has a student-teacher ratio of 13.8, which is slightly lower than the state average.
The analysis suggests that the school and district should closely examine the factors contributing to the school's declining performance and academic gaps, while also leveraging the potential benefits of its smaller class sizes and addressing the needs of its economically disadvantaged student population. Targeted interventions and strategies to improve academic outcomes in areas of weakness could help the school reverse its declining statewide ranking and better serve its students.
