Mount Pleasant Area School District

The Mount Pleasant Area School District serves the Mount Pleasant area and consists of 5 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school. The district's schools show a mix of academic performance, with some standout elementary schools and room for improvement at the secondary level.

Norvelt Elementary School and Donegal Elementary School are the district's top-performing schools, consistently exceeding state and district averages on state assessments, particularly in math and science. In contrast, the middle and high schools, such as Mount Pleasant Area Junior High School and Mount Pleasant Area High School, have more room for improvement, especially in math proficiency.

The district's schools also vary in terms of student demographics and resource allocation, with the high school spending significantly more per student than the elementary schools. While the district maintains a relatively low dropout rate, there are opportunities to further strengthen academic outcomes, particularly at the secondary level, and ensure equitable distribution of resources across all schools.
