Summary:
The Forest Hills School District in Pennsylvania is home to two schools: Forest Hills Elementary School and Forest Hills Junior/Senior High School. Both schools are performing well overall, with students consistently outperforming state averages on standardized tests.
At the elementary school, students excel in PSSA Math and Science tests, while the junior/senior high school students outperform the state in PSSA English Language Arts. The high school also boasts an impressive 95.6% four-year graduation rate and a very low 0.1% dropout rate. However, the district may want to address the racial homogeneity of its student population, as both schools have over 96% of students identifying as white.
Interestingly, the elementary school has a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (42.74%) compared to the junior/senior high school (30.32%), suggesting the need for more resources to support students from lower-income families, particularly in the earlier grades. The district's per-student spending also varies, with the junior/senior high school receiving $14,806 per student compared to $13,692 per student at the elementary school, which may indicate a focus on supporting older students.
