Southern Fulton School District

The Southern Fulton School District in Pennsylvania consists of two schools: Southern Fulton Elementary School and Southern Fulton Junior/Senior High School. The district serves students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade.

The standout school in the district is the Southern Fulton Junior/Senior High School, which ranks 143 out of 686 Pennsylvania high schools and earned a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The high school boasts a strong 87.5% four-year graduation rate and a low 1.6% dropout rate, indicating a high level of student success. In contrast, the Southern Fulton Elementary School generally performs above the district and state averages in PSSA assessments, but there are some areas, such as 4th grade Math and 5th grade English Language Arts, where scores lag behind.

The data also reveals that the junior/senior high school spends significantly more per student ($22,109) compared to the elementary school ($17,118), and has a higher student-teacher ratio of 14.4:1 versus 12:1 at the elementary level. These factors may contribute to the high school's academic success, though further analysis would be needed to establish a direct correlation. Additionally, the elementary school has a higher free and reduced lunch rate of 44.62%, indicating a greater need for support and resources at that level, which could be an area of focus for the Southern Fulton School District.
