Yough School District

Summary:

The Yough School District in Pennsylvania consists of 5 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, serving students from diverse backgrounds. The district's performance is marked by a clear divide, with the elementary schools, particularly West Newton Elementary School and H.W. Good Elementary School, outperforming the middle and high schools on standardized tests.

West Newton Elementary School stands out as the top-performing school in the district, ranking 212 out of 1,534 Pennsylvania elementary schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. Its students excel in PSSA Math and English Language Arts tests, with proficiency rates significantly higher than the district and state averages. In contrast, the Yough Intermediate/Middle School and Yough Senior High School generally perform below the state averages on Keystone Exams and PSSA tests.

The Yough School District faces significant socioeconomic challenges, with a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 34.77% to 51.77%. This suggests that the district may need to explore targeted interventions and support programs to address the needs of economically disadvantaged students and ensure consistent academic performance across all grade levels.
