The Sharon City School District in Pennsylvania has only one high school, Sharon High School, which serves students in grades 9-12.

Academically, Sharon High School has had mixed results.

The school's four-year graduation rate for 2022-2023 was 87.5%, slightly below the state average, while its dropout rate was relatively low at 1.6%.

One notable factor is the high percentage of students at Sharon High School receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 94.84% in 2022-2023, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. The school's per-student spending for 2021-2022 was $17,510, higher than the state average, and the student-teacher ratio is 11.3, relatively low compared to the state average. These factors suggest that the school may face unique challenges that require a comprehensive and tailored approach to improve student outcomes.
