Somerset Area School District

The Somerset Area School District in Pennsylvania consists of 2 elementary schools and 1 high school, serving students from kindergarten through 12th grade. The district's standout school is Somerset Area Junior-Senior High School, which is ranked 129 out of 674 Pennsylvania high schools and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The high school boasts an impressive 92% four-year graduation rate and a low 1.3% dropout rate, along with strong academic performance, with students outperforming the state average in PSSA and Keystone Exams across multiple subjects and grade levels.

The district's other elementary school, Eagle View Elementary School, also shows promise, ranking 635 out of 1,534 Pennsylvania elementary schools and earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's 4th-grade students performed exceptionally well on the PSSA Science exam, with 87.6% scoring proficient or better, significantly higher than the state average of 74.1%. However, the school's overall PSSA Math and English Language Arts scores suggest room for improvement, with 3rd, 4th, and 5th-grade students scoring at or above the state averages in most subjects.

Across the district, the student population is predominantly white, ranging from 90.42% to 92.53%, and a relatively high percentage of students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, from 43.57% at the high school to 58.88% at Eagle View Elementary School. This suggests the need to address potential socioeconomic disparities and ensure equitable access to resources and opportunities for all students in the Somerset Area School District.
