Best Public Schools in West Sunbury, PA


Summary:

The city of West Sunbury, Pennsylvania is home to two schools - Dassa McKinney Elementary School and Moniteau Junior/Senior High School, both part of the Moniteau School District. While the elementary school consistently outperforms the district and state on standardized tests, the high school has mixed results, with strong performance on Keystone Exams but lower proficiency rates on PSSA math and science tests.

Dassa McKinney Elementary School stands out for its exceptional academic performance, with proficiency rates exceeding the district and state averages in math, science, and English language arts across multiple grade levels. The school's 4th grade science proficiency rate of 95.2% is particularly impressive. However, the school serves a high-need student population, with a 100% free/reduced lunch rate.

In contrast, Moniteau Junior/Senior High School has a solid graduation rate and strong performance on the Keystone Exams, particularly in Literature. But the school's PSSA math and science proficiency rates lag behind the district and state. Like the elementary school, Moniteau Junior/Senior High also serves a high-need student population, with a 90.48% free/reduced lunch rate. The higher spending per student at the high school compared to the elementary school may indicate differences in funding or resource allocation that could impact student outcomes.
