Summary:
The Penns Manor Area School District in Pennsylvania has one high school, Penns Manor Area Junior/Senior High School, serving grades 6-12. The school has an enrollment of 391 students and a relatively high free and reduced lunch rate of 51.41%, indicating a significant population of students from low-income families.
Academically, Penns Manor Area Junior/Senior High School has shown a mixed performance. While the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (58.5%) are on par with or slightly above the district (53.3%) and state (53%) averages, its Math (38.8%) and Science (47%) proficiency rates are below the district and state averages. The school's Keystone Exam results also reflect this pattern, with higher proficiency in Literature (62.2%) compared to Algebra I (49%) and Biology (51%).
Despite the academic challenges, the school maintains a relatively consistent performance, with its statewide ranking remaining in the 290-295 range out of around 670-680 Pennsylvania high schools over the past three years. The school's high per-student spending ($24,016) and low student-teacher ratio (12.4) suggest that the district is allocating significant resources to support the school, which may be a contributing factor to its overall performance. The school's four-year graduation rate of 87.5% and a low dropout rate of 1.6% also indicate positive outcomes for students.
