Summary:
The Pittston Area School District in Pennsylvania has only one high school, Pittston Area Senior High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Pennsylvania high schools, with a below-average performance rating and academic achievement that falls short of state averages.
Pittston Area Senior High School's four-year graduation rate is slightly below the state average at 87.5%, and its dropout rate is relatively low at 1.6%. However, the school's proficiency rates on the Keystone Exams are significantly lower than the state averages, particularly in Algebra I and Literature. This suggests that the school may need to focus on improving its academic programs and support for students in these subject areas.
The school serves a population with a higher proportion of students from low-income families, with 43.74% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. This socioeconomic factor may contribute to the school's academic challenges and the need for additional resources and support. The Pittston Area School District as a whole is also performing below average, with a ranking of 422 out of 610 districts in Pennsylvania and a 2-star rating, indicating that the issues faced by Pittston Area Senior High School are not isolated but may be reflective of broader district-level factors.
