Johnsonburg Area School District

The Johnsonburg Area School District in Pennsylvania consists of two schools: Johnsonburg Area Elementary School and Johnsonburg Area High School. The elementary school has consistently ranked in the top 25% of Pennsylvania elementary schools and outperforms the state averages on standardized tests, while the high school's academic performance is more variable.

Johnsonburg Area Elementary School stands out as a high-performing school, with PSSA test scores significantly higher than the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. The school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.2 and spends $17,026 per student, which is higher than the state average. In contrast, the high school has a stronger 87.5% four-year graduation rate, but its PSSA and Keystone Exam scores are more mixed, with some grades and subjects performing above the state average and others below.

The higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at the elementary school compared to the high school may suggest that the elementary school serves a more economically disadvantaged population. The higher spending per student at the high school compared to the elementary school may indicate a focus on providing additional resources and support for secondary-level education, though the strong performance of the elementary school suggests that the investment in the lower grades is also paying dividends.
