School by school, year by year · 30 August 2026
Test scores, attendance and graduation rates for all eight schools, going back about ten years. You can see how a school is doing now, whether it is getting better or worse, how it stacks up against the others, and how different groups of kids are doing in it. Pick a school to start.
The most recent published year for each measure, next to the Pennsylvania average. A dash means the state publishes nothing for this school on that measure.
Every year Pennsylvania has published. The dashed line is the state average for the same year, so a dip that everyone shared looks different from a dip that did not.
Every Moon Area building on the same measure, most recent year published. Yours is highlighted — a building-by-building comparison the district’s own district-level report does not make.
, split by student group. Where a group is small, Pennsylvania withholds the figure to protect the students in it — shown as “not published”, which is not the same as a zero. A zero here is a published zero, and where the state gives the number of students tested it is printed beside it.
The make-up of the school, from the state’s own annual summary.
A test score is not a school. These are the things Pennsylvania happens to measure, which is not the same as the things that matter about a building your child spends a thousand hours a year in. Nothing here captures whether the teachers are kind, the music program is any good, or your kid is happy walking in.
Small groups get withheld, and that is the right call. Where a school has only a handful of students in a group, publishing the score could identify them. The state suppresses those, and this page prints “not published” rather than a zero. At the elementaries most group breakdowns are suppressed, so the picture there is genuinely thinner than at the high school.
Two years are missing and neither is a mistake. There is no 2020 because the pandemic cancelled the tests, and 2016 is thin because the state published far fewer breakdowns that year. Gaps in these lines are gaps in the record.
Compare buildings carefully. The elementaries do not serve identical intakes — the share of students from lower-income families ranges widely across them, and that tracks test scores everywhere in the country. “Who goes here” above is the context for the charts, not a footnote to them.
