Pine Grove Area School District

The Pine Grove Area School District operates three schools: Pine Grove Elementary School, Pine Grove Area High School, and Pine Grove Area Middle School. The district serves a predominantly white student population, with minority representation being low across the schools.

Pine Grove Elementary School stands out as a high-performing institution, consistently scoring well above state averages on PSSA tests, particularly in math and science. The school has earned a 4-out-of-5-star rating from SchoolDigger and ranks in the top 20% of Pennsylvania elementary schools. In contrast, Pine Grove Area Middle School has generally lower PSSA scores compared to state averages, suggesting a need for targeted interventions to help students maintain their academic progress.

Pine Grove Area High School stands out for its strong graduation rate of 91.8%, well above the state average, and a relatively low dropout rate of 0.7%. However, the school's Keystone Exam scores are mixed, with proficiency rates ranging from 36.5% in Algebra I to 56.7% in Literature. The district's per-student spending is higher than the state average, and student-to-teacher ratios are relatively low across the schools.
