Summary:
Governor Mifflin Senior High School is a public high school located in Shillington, Pennsylvania, serving 1,480 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Governor Mifflin School District. While the district is ranked 425 out of 610 in the state, the high school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 314 out of 673 Pennsylvania high schools in 2017-2018 to 493 out of 686 in 2023-2024, and its SchoolDigger rating has fluctuated between 1 and 3 stars.
The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with African American students ranking relatively higher (154 out of 284 in 2023-2024) compared to Hispanic, Multi-racial, and Low Socioeconomic Status students, who rank much lower (222 out of 274, 109 out of 150, and 561 out of 664, respectively, in 2023-2024). Additionally, the school's test scores on the Keystone Exams are generally below the state average, with proficiency rates of 27.3% in Algebra I, 37.5% in Biology, and 54.9% in Literature, compared to the state averages of 41.6%, 50.5%, and 63.2%, respectively.
When compared to nearby schools, such as Daniel Boone Area High School and Wyomissing Area Junior/Senior High School, Governor Mifflin Senior High School generally performs worse, with lower statewide rankings, poorer test scores, and lower graduation rates. The school's relatively high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients (44.12% in 2022-2023) may be a contributing factor to its lower academic performance, and the significant disparities in student group performance indicate the need for targeted interventions and support to ensure equitable educational opportunities for all students.
