Moniteau School District

The Moniteau School District in Pennsylvania is home to two schools: Dassa McKinney Elementary School and Moniteau Junior/Senior High School. Both schools have demonstrated strong academic performance, with Dassa McKinney Elementary consistently outperforming the district and state averages on PSSA tests, particularly in science. Moniteau Junior/Senior High School also stands out for its high graduation rate and solid performance on Keystone Exams.

Dassa McKinney Elementary School is a standout, with 95.2% proficiency in 4th-grade science and overall high proficiency rates in math, science, and English language arts across multiple grade levels. This impressive performance is achieved despite the school serving a population with significant economic need, as indicated by the 100% free or reduced-price lunch rate. In contrast, Moniteau Junior/Senior High School has lower proficiency rates on PSSA tests but excels in Keystone Exam performance, with 75.7% proficiency in 11th-grade Literature, surpassing the state average.

The Moniteau School District appears to be providing a solid educational foundation for its students, with both schools meeting or exceeding district and state averages in many areas. However, the significant difference in spending per student between the elementary and high school, with the high school spending nearly $4,000 more per student, suggests that there may be opportunities for further resource allocation and program development to ensure equitable access to high-quality education across all grade levels.
