Summary:
The Old Forge School District in Pennsylvania operates two schools: Old Forge Elementary School and Old Forge Junior/Senior High School. The data shows a mixed picture, with some areas of strength and others needing improvement.
At the elementary school, students perform well in science, with 85.7% proficiency on the PSSA Science exam, outpacing the district and state averages. However, math proficiency lags behind, with only 41.1% of students meeting standards on the PSSA Math exam, compared to the state average of 40.4%. The high school also struggles with math, with just 14.3% of students proficient in PSSA Math, significantly lower than the district and state. Conversely, the high school shines in biology, with 57.6% of 11th graders passing the Keystone Exams, exceeding the state average of 50.5%.
Both schools maintain relatively low dropout rates of 1.6%, and the high school boasts a strong 87.5% four-year graduation rate. Socioeconomic factors may play a role, as the elementary school serves a higher percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (49.9%) compared to the high school (35.98%). Despite these differences, the schools allocate resources equitably, with similar spending per student and student-teacher ratios across the two campuses.
