The Atglen, Pennsylvania area is home to 4 schools that are part of the Octorara Area School District, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The data reveals that Octorara Elementary School stands out as the top-performing school in the district, with the highest proficiency rates in PSSA Math, PSSA English Language Arts, and PSSA Science compared to the other schools. Meanwhile, Octorara Intermediate School also performs well, with the highest proficiency rates in PSSA Math and PSSA English Language Arts among the district's schools.
The district's schools have mixed performance on standardized tests, with the high school's Keystone Exam proficiency rates generally lower than the district and state averages, except for Literature. The elementary and middle schools have some grades and subjects that exceed the district and state averages, while others fall behind. The district has relatively high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 43.23% at the high school to 56.72% at the intermediate school, which is higher than the state average.
Overall, the data suggests that the Octorara Area School District is serving a socioeconomically disadvantaged population, with the schools having higher-than-average spending per student and relatively low student-teacher ratios. While Octorara Elementary School and Octorara Intermediate School stand out as strong performers, the district will need to focus on improving student outcomes, particularly at the high school level, to ensure all students in the Atglen area are receiving a high-quality education.
