Line Mountain School District

The Line Mountain School District in Pennsylvania operates three schools: Line Mountain Elementary School, Line Mountain High School, and Line Mountain Middle School. The district demonstrates a mix of high-performing and struggling schools, with the high school standing out for its strong academic performance and graduation rates, while the middle school faces declining performance.

Line Mountain High School is a standout, ranking 39th out of 674 Pennsylvania high schools and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school boasts a high 4-year graduation rate of 87.5% and a low dropout rate of 1.6%. In contrast, Line Mountain Middle School has seen a steady decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 260th out of 883 Pennsylvania middle schools in 2021-2022 to 478th out of 891 in 2023-2024. This decline is reflected in the school's PSSA Math and English Language Arts proficiency rates, which are below the district and state averages.

Line Mountain Elementary School stands out for its strong performance in PSSA Science, with 83.9% of 4th graders proficient or better in 2023-2024, outperforming the district and state averages. However, the school struggles with lower PSSA Math and English Language Arts proficiency rates compared to the high school. The district also faces potential equity concerns, with the elementary and middle schools having higher free and reduced lunch rates than the high school, suggesting a need for further investigation into the distribution of resources and support across the schools.
