Summary:
The Tunkhannock Area School District in Pennsylvania operates 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district serves a predominantly high-need student population, with the Tunkhannock Area Intermediate Center and Tunkhannock STEM Academy having over 98% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
The Tunkhannock High School consistently underperforms compared to the district and state averages on standardized tests, particularly in Math. In contrast, the elementary and middle schools in the district generally perform better, with the Tunkhannock Area Intermediate Center standing out as the strongest performer, with high proficiency rates in PSSA Science and relatively strong performance in Math and English Language Arts.
The varying performance and resource allocation across the schools in the district highlight the need for targeted interventions and strategic resource allocation to address the specific needs of each school and student population. Identifying and replicating successful practices from the stronger-performing schools could benefit the entire Tunkhannock Area School District.
