Summary:
The Forbes Road School District in Pennsylvania has only one high school, Forbes Road Junior/Senior High School, which serves grades 7-12. The school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from 199th out of 634 Pennsylvania high schools in 2021-2022 to 621st out of 686 in 2023-2024. Its performance on standardized tests, such as the PSSA/Math and Keystone Exams, is generally below the state average.
Despite the school's higher per-student spending of $25,269 in 2021-2022, which is above the state average, its academic performance remains a concern. The school has a relatively small student population of 141 students and a high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at 35.46% in 2022-2023, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. The school's four-year graduation rate for 2022-2023 was 87.5%, slightly below the state average, and its dropout rate for the same year was 1.6%, which is relatively low.
The data suggests that Forbes Road Junior/Senior High School faces significant challenges in terms of academic performance and socioeconomic factors, which may require a closer examination of the school's strategies, resource allocation, and support systems to help improve student outcomes. The school's performance on Keystone Exams, particularly in Algebra I and Biology, presents an opportunity for targeted interventions and support to help students improve in these critical subject areas.
