High Schools in Harrisburg City School District


Summary:

The Harrisburg City School District in Pennsylvania is home to two high schools: Harrisburg High School and Harrisburg High School - SciTech Cmp. While both serve a predominantly low-income student population, the data analysis reveals a significant performance gap between the two schools.

Harrisburg High School - SciTech Cmp emerges as the standout school, with a higher statewide ranking, better academic performance, higher graduation rates, and lower dropout rates compared to Harrisburg High School. The SciTech Cmp school also benefits from higher spending per student and a lower student-teacher ratio, which may contribute to its stronger educational outcomes.

The findings suggest that the Harrisburg City School District faces systemic challenges, as evidenced by the consistently low statewide rankings and 0-star ratings for the district. Targeted interventions and resource allocation may be necessary to address these issues and improve educational opportunities for all students in the district.
