Summary:

The city of Carrolltown, Pennsylvania has only one school serving the area - Cambria Heights Elementary School, which is part of the Cambria Heights School District. This public elementary school serves grades PK-5 and has a total enrollment of 535 students.

While Cambria Heights Elementary School generally performs better than the Cambria Heights School District and the state of Pennsylvania on PSSA test scores, it has received a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past three school years, indicating its performance is below average compared to other Pennsylvania elementary schools. The school has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (51.21%), suggesting a significant population of economically disadvantaged students. However, the school's low student-teacher ratio of 12:1 and higher per-student spending of $11,745 may be positive factors contributing to its academic performance.

Overall, Cambria Heights Elementary School appears to be the sole educational option for families in the Carrolltown area, and while it outperforms the district and state in some academic areas, there is room for improvement in its educational outcomes. Further analysis would be needed to fully understand the factors influencing the school's performance and the unique challenges it may face in serving its student population.
