Summary:
The Halifax Area School District in Pennsylvania operates three schools: Halifax Area Elementary School, Halifax Area Middle School, and Halifax Area High School. The district serves a predominantly white student population, with around 30% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
The standout schools in the district are the middle school and high school, both of which have earned 4-star ratings from SchoolDigger. The Halifax Area Middle School outperformed the district and state averages in several PSSA test subjects, including an impressive 80.7% proficiency rate in 8th grade Science. The Halifax Area High School also excelled, with a 89.2% four-year graduation rate and strong performance on Keystone Exams in Algebra I, Biology, and Literature.
In contrast, the Halifax Area Elementary School may require closer attention, as its 3rd grade math proficiency rate of 45.8% is lower than the state average of 51.7%. Additionally, the elementary school's overall SchoolDigger ranking has declined in recent years, suggesting a need to address any performance issues at the lower grade levels.
