Summary:
The Old Forge School District in Pennsylvania has only one high school, Old Forge Junior/Senior High School, which serves grades 7-12. The school has faced some academic performance challenges, particularly in math proficiency, but also shows potential for improvement with targeted interventions and resource allocation.
Old Forge Junior/Senior High School has a statewide ranking that has fluctuated between 345 and 413 out of 634-686 Pennsylvania high schools over the past three school years, with a 2-star rating out of 5 from SchoolDigger. The school's four-year graduation rate for the 2022-2023 school year was 87.5%, slightly below the state average, while its dropout rate was relatively low at 1.6%. Academically, the school's proficiency rates on PSSA and Keystone Exams were generally below the state and district averages, with the exception of Keystone Exams in Biology (57.6% proficient) and Literature (53% proficient).
The school serves a relatively high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, at 35.98% in the 2022-2023 school year, and the district's spending per student for the 2021-2022 school year was $15,954, higher than the state average. These socioeconomic factors suggest that the school may be serving a disadvantaged population and could benefit from targeted interventions and resource allocation to support student learning. Despite the challenges, the school's relatively high graduation rate and low dropout rate indicate that there may be opportunities for improvement, particularly by focusing on areas of academic weakness, such as math proficiency, and leveraging the school's strengths in other subject areas.
