Summary:
The 62665 zip code area is home to 3 schools - 1 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school - all part of the Meredosia-Chambersburg CUSD 11 district. Unfortunately, these schools are consistently underperforming, with low test scores, high chronic absenteeism, and graduation rates below state averages.
Across all three schools, proficiency rates on state assessments are dismal, often at 0% compared to state averages around 30-50%. Chronic absenteeism is also a major issue, ranging from 30.5% at the Meredosia-Chambersburg Elementary School to 58.8% at the Meredosia-Chambersburg High School. The high school's 4-year graduation rate of 73.7% is well below the state average.
Socioeconomic factors likely play a significant role, with all three schools serving a high-poverty population, as evidenced by the 70-80% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite the relatively high per-student spending, the schools have not shown meaningful improvement over time, suggesting that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution. Addressing the underlying challenges, such as high poverty and chronic absenteeism, will be crucial to improving outcomes for students in this district.
