Summary:
The Cranberry Area School District in Pennsylvania has only one high school, Cranberry Area Junior/Senior High School, which serves students in grades 7-12. The school has shown improvement in its statewide ranking over the past three years, moving from 266th out of 634 Pennsylvania high schools in 2021-2022 to 218th out of 686 in 2023-2024.
Cranberry Area Junior/Senior High School's academic performance is mixed, with the school outperforming the state average in some subject areas like Algebra I and Literature, but underperforming in others like Math and English Language Arts. The school's four-year graduation rate of 87.5% is slightly below the state average, while its dropout rate of 1.6% is relatively low. The school serves a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, with 40.93% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.
Despite the school's mixed academic performance, its relatively high per-student spending of $21,859 for the 2021-2022 school year suggests that the school has access to more resources and funding compared to other schools in the state. This may be a contributing factor to the school's improving statewide ranking and the support it provides to its students, including those from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.
