Summary:
The Greensburg Salem School District has only one high school, Greensburg-Salem High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school's performance has declined in recent years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 372 out of 686 schools in 2023-2024 to 476 out of 634 schools in 2021-2022, and its rating decreasing from 2 stars to 1 star out of 5.
Academically, Greensburg-Salem High School has mixed results. While the school's proficiency rates on the Algebra I Keystone Exam are higher than the state average, its performance on the Biology and Literature exams is below the state average. The school's four-year graduation rate is 87.5%, and its dropout rate is 1.6%. Economically, 36.1% of the school's students receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high proportion of economically disadvantaged students.
Despite the school's relatively high spending of $17,335 per student and a low student-teacher ratio of 14.5, its academic performance and statewide ranking suggest that the school may face challenges in supporting its students' educational needs. Further investigation into the school's specific programs, teaching practices, and strategies to support economically disadvantaged students could provide more insights into how to improve the school's performance.
