Summary:
The Saint Marys Area School District in Pennsylvania operates 5 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district serves a predominantly white student population, with all schools having 100% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant socioeconomic challenges.
Among the standout schools in the district, St Marys Area Senior High School ranks 103 out of 674 Pennsylvania high schools and has a 91.3% four-year graduation rate, outperforming the state average. In contrast, some of the elementary schools, such as South St Marys Street Elementary School and St Marys Area Middle School, have seen a decline in their statewide rankings over the past few years. Fox Township Elementary School and Bennetts Valley Elementary School stand out for their low student-teacher ratios and strong academic performance, particularly in math and science.
The data suggests that while the district as a whole faces significant socioeconomic challenges, there are disparities in the allocation of resources and staffing across the schools, leading to varying levels of academic performance. The district will need to address these inequities and ensure that all students have access to the resources and support they need to succeed.
