Summary:
The Mount Union Area School District in Pennsylvania has only one high school, Mount Union Area Senior High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Pennsylvania high schools, with a 1-star rating out of 5 from SchoolDigger.
Mount Union Area Senior High School's performance on standardized tests is significantly below the state average in all three subject areas (Algebra I, Biology, and Literature). The school's four-year graduation rate is slightly below the state average at 87.5%, and its dropout rate is relatively low at 1.6%. However, the school has a high percentage of students (79.66%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
Despite the higher-than-average spending per student ($16,104) and a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.5 to 1, the school's consistently low performance suggests that it may be facing significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students. Addressing these challenges will likely require a multi-faceted approach, including targeted interventions, additional resources, and a focus on improving teaching and learning practices.
