Summary:
The Millville Area School District in Pennsylvania operates two schools: Millville Area Elementary School, serving grades K-6, and Millville Area Junior/Senior High School, serving grades 7-12. The district's student population is predominantly white, with over 90% of students identifying as such at both schools.
The standout school in the district is the junior/senior high, which boasts a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger and places it in the top 10% of high schools in Pennsylvania. The school has a strong 95% four-year graduation rate and a low 0.4% dropout rate. Academically, the high school performs well on Keystone Exams, with 50-79.3% proficiency in Algebra I, Biology, and Literature. In contrast, the elementary school struggles more with math proficiency, with scores ranging from 32.3% to 56.7% across grades.
Both schools serve a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, with nearly half of the elementary school students and 40% of the high school students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. This economic challenge may contribute to the academic performance gaps observed, particularly in mathematics. The district also allocates more per-student spending at the high school level ($28,142) compared to the elementary school ($23,731), which may reflect the additional resources and programming required for secondary education.
