Northern Bedford County School District

The Northern Bedford County School District in Pennsylvania operates three schools: Northern Bedford County Elementary School, Northern Bedford County High School, and Northern Bedford County Middle School. The district's schools have a predominantly white student population, with low minority representation.

The standout schools in the district are the middle school and high school. The Northern Bedford County Middle School is ranked 220 out of 893 Pennsylvania middle schools and has a 4-star rating, maintaining a 0.0% dropout rate and exceeding state averages on PSSA tests. The Northern Bedford County High School is ranked 215 out of 674 Pennsylvania high schools, with a 96.6% four-year graduation rate and strong performance on Keystone Exams in Biology and Literature.

While the district's schools generally perform well, there are some potential equity concerns. The significant disparity in free and reduced lunch rates between the elementary school (49.89%) and the high school (41.37%) suggests socioeconomic differences within the district. Additionally, the lack of racial diversity across the schools is noteworthy and may warrant further investigation. The district also has substantial variations in per-student spending, with the high school spending nearly $8,000 more per student than the elementary school.
