Summary:
Southmoreland School District in Pennsylvania has only one high school, Southmoreland Senior High School, which serves students in grades 9-12.

This decline is reflected in the school's inconsistent test scores, with proficiency rates fluctuating and often falling below state averages.

The school has a relatively high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 41.78% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. This factor may contribute to the school's challenges, as research has shown that socioeconomic status can impact student performance.

Further analysis and targeted interventions may be necessary to address these issues and improve the educational experience for students in the district.
