Summary:
The Marion Center Area School District in Pennsylvania operates three schools: Marion Center Area Junior/Senior High School, W.A. McCreery Elementary School, and Rayne Elementary School. The district serves a predominantly white student population, with some variation in socioeconomic factors across the schools.
Marion Center Area Junior/Senior High School stands out with a high 4-year graduation rate and low dropout rate, but its performance on state assessments is mixed, with some subject areas exceeding the state average and others falling below. In contrast, the two elementary schools, W.A. McCreery and Rayne, generally outperform the high school on state assessments, particularly in Math and Science. This suggests a need to focus on improving academic outcomes at the secondary level.
The district's schools maintain a relatively stable 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, but the high school's statewide ranking has declined in recent years. Additionally, the higher free and reduced-price lunch rates at the elementary schools, especially Rayne Elementary, indicate that these schools serve a more economically disadvantaged student population compared to the high school. This socioeconomic factor may be an important consideration when analyzing the schools' performance and identifying opportunities for improvement.
