Northern Cambria School District


Summary:

The Northern Cambria School District in Pennsylvania operates three schools: Northern Cambria High School, Northern Cambria Elementary School, and Northern Cambria Middle School. While the high school stands out with a strong 90.2% graduation rate and better-than-average performance on the Literature Keystone Exam, the district as a whole faces challenges, with most schools underperforming state averages on standardized tests, particularly in Math and English Language Arts.

Socioeconomic factors play a significant role, with the elementary and middle schools having 100% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating high levels of economic disadvantage. Despite the high per-student spending and low student-to-teacher ratios across the district, the academic performance suggests the resources may not be effectively utilized or targeted to address the specific needs of the student population.

The Northern Cambria School District has some bright spots, such as the middle school's above-average performance on the 8th grade PSSA Science test. However, the overall trend of underperformance, particularly in Math and English Language Arts, points to the need for targeted interventions and a closer examination of resource allocation to drive improvement across the district.
