Pocono Mountain School District

Summary:

The Pocono Mountain School District in Pennsylvania consists of 9 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, and 2 high schools, serving students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade. The district's performance varies, with some standout schools like Pocono Mountain East High School and Tobyhanna Elementary Center leading the way, while others like Clear Run Intrmd School and Pocono Mountain West Junior High School have room for improvement.

Pocono Mountain East High School stands out as the top-performing high school in the district, ranking 154 out of 686 Pennsylvania high schools and boasting strong proficiency rates on Keystone Exams. Meanwhile, Tobyhanna Elementary Center and Swiftwater Interm School excel at the elementary and intermediate levels, with high proficiency rates on PSSA exams.

The district as a whole performs below the state average on many standardized tests, suggesting opportunities for improvement. Additionally, there is a correlation between schools with higher rates of economic disadvantage, as measured by free and reduced-price lunch eligibility, and lower academic performance. However, the data does not show a clear relationship between per-student spending and student outcomes, indicating that factors beyond just funding may be at play in driving school performance within the Pocono Mountain School District.
