High Schools in Mount Carmel Area School District

The Mount Carmel Area School District in Pennsylvania has only one high school, Mount Carmel Area High School. The school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past three years, dropping from 433 out of 634 Pennsylvania high schools in 2021-2022 to 509 out of 686 in 2023-2024. Additionally, the school's performance on Keystone Exams is below the state average in all three subjects (Algebra I, Biology, and Literature) for both the 2022-2023 and 2023-2024 school years.

Despite the school's higher per-student spending of $14,828 for the 2021-2022 school year, which is above the state average, the school's four-year graduation rate for the 2022-2023 school year was 87.5%, slightly below the state average. The school also has a relatively high student-teacher ratio of 16.4 for the 2022-2023 school year, which is slightly higher than the state average. Additionally, the school serves a predominantly low-income population, with 74.24% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

Overall, the data suggests that Mount Carmel Area High School is facing challenges in maintaining its academic performance and meeting the needs of its student population. The school's declining statewide ranking, underperformance on standardized tests, and higher student-teacher ratio despite higher spending may indicate the need for targeted interventions and support to improve educational outcomes for the students in the Mount Carmel Area School District.
