The high schools also have strong graduation rates and low dropout rates. However, the wide range in free/reduced lunch rates, from 28.28% at Seneca High School to 100% at Wattsburg Area Elementary Center, suggests a need for additional support and resources for economically disadvantaged students in the area.
