McGuffey School District

Summary:

The McGuffey School District in Pennsylvania consists of 4 schools: 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The data reveals that Joe Walker Elementary School is the standout performer in the district, consistently ranking in the top 50% of Pennsylvania elementary schools and achieving the highest proficiency rates in Math, Science, and English Language Arts compared to the other schools and district/state averages.

In contrast, McGuffey High School appears to be the weakest performer, with lower Keystone Exam proficiency rates and a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The district's schools generally perform at or above the state averages in PSSA/Keystone Exam proficiency, but McGuffey Middle School and McGuffey High School lag behind in certain subject areas like Math.

The data also reveals that the schools with higher free/reduced lunch rates, such as Claysville Elementary School and McGuffey Middle School, tend to have lower proficiency rates compared to Joe Walker Elementary, which has a lower free/reduced lunch rate. This highlights the potential impact of socioeconomic factors on student achievement. Overall, the McGuffey School District has some strong-performing schools, particularly at the elementary level, but also faces challenges in maintaining consistent academic excellence across all grade levels.
