Schuylkill Valley School District

The Schuylkill Valley School District in Pennsylvania operates three schools: one elementary school, one middle school, and one high school. The district's schools show a mix of strong and underperforming academic results, with the Schuylkill Valley Middle School and Schuylkill Valley High School demonstrating the most room for improvement.

The Schuylkill Valley Elementary School has maintained a consistent 2-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past three years, with students performing above the district and state averages in PSSA Math, Science, and English Language Arts. In contrast, the middle school's performance has been more mixed, with some grade levels outperforming the district and state, while others underperformed. The high school, once ranked 174 out of 634 Pennsylvania high schools, has since dropped to 308 out of 686, suggesting a decline in its academic standing.

The Schuylkill Valley Middle School stands out as a relative bright spot, ranking 312 out of 891 Pennsylvania middle schools and earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school has outperformed the district and state averages in several PSSA test categories and maintained a low dropout rate. Similarly, the Schuylkill Valley High School has achieved a strong 4-year graduation rate of 87.5% and excelled in Keystone Exams for Algebra I and Literature, outpacing the district and state. However, the district should address the potential equity concerns raised by the higher percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at the elementary school compared to the high school.
