High Schools in Pottstown School District


Summary:

The Pottstown School District in Pennsylvania has only one high school, Pottstown High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school faces significant challenges, ranking 550 out of 686 Pennsylvania high schools and earning a low 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Pottstown High School's academic performance is consistently below the state average, with proficiency rates on Keystone Exams ranging from 20.5% in Algebra I to 47% in Literature, compared to state averages of 41.6%, 50.5%, and 63.2%, respectively. The school's four-year graduation rate of 87.5% is slightly below the state average, and 100% of its students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Despite the district's higher-than-average spending of $18,728 per student, the school's academic performance remains a concern. Addressing these issues will likely require a multifaceted approach that goes beyond simply increasing funding and resources, potentially including targeted interventions and support in subject areas where the school is struggling the most.
