Summary:
The Steelton-Highspire School District in Pennsylvania serves two schools: Steelton-Highspire Elementary School and Steelton-Highspire High School. Both schools have consistently low performance metrics compared to state averages, with significantly below-average proficiency rates in Math, Science, and English Language Arts. The high school also has a lower-than-average graduation rate and a higher-than-average dropout rate.
The district serves a high-poverty student population, with 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch at both the elementary and high school. Per-student spending varies between the two schools, with the elementary school spending $11,362 per student and the high school spending $7,602 per student. The student-teacher ratios are 14.6 at the elementary school and 12.3 at the high school.
Overall, the data suggests that the Steelton-Highspire School District faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students. Addressing these systemic issues will likely require a multi-faceted approach, including increased funding, targeted interventions, and a focus on improving educational outcomes for the high-poverty student population.
