Sharon City School District

The Sharon City School District in Pennsylvania operates 5 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, serving students from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds. While the district faces challenges in academic performance, with most schools ranking in the bottom half of their respective categories statewide, a few standout schools provide a glimpse of the district's potential.

Sharon High School stands out with a strong 94.0% four-year graduation rate, while Case Avenue Elementary School outperforms the district and state averages in several PSSA Math and English Language Arts categories, potentially due to its lower student-teacher ratio of 11.0. In contrast, Sharon Middle School lags behind in PSSA Math and English Language Arts, suggesting room for improvement in academic achievement.

Socioeconomic challenges are evident across the district, with all elementary schools and the middle school having 100% of their students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. This high level of economic disadvantage is reflected in the district's overall low rankings, with the highest-ranked school, Sharon High School, placed 409 out of 674 high schools in the state. However, the diversity of the district's schools, with Musser Elementary School having the highest percentage of African American students (52.1%) and Case Avenue Elementary School the highest percentage of white students (61.98%), suggests the potential for targeted interventions to address the unique needs of the community.
