Best Public Schools in Christiana, PA

Summary:

The city of Christiana, Pennsylvania is home to a single elementary school, Bart-Colerain Elementary School, which serves students from kindergarten through 5th grade. This school is part of the Solanco School District.

Bart-Colerain Elementary School stands out for its strong academic performance, particularly in math proficiency, where it outperforms both the district and state averages across multiple grade levels. However, the school has a relatively homogeneous student population, with 86.7% of students identifying as white and a smaller Hispanic population of 10.11%. Additionally, the school serves a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, with 43.62% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

One notable characteristic of Bart-Colerain Elementary School is its low student-teacher ratio of 11.4, which is the lowest among the four elementary schools in the Solanco School District. This suggests a more personalized learning environment for students, which may contribute to the school's strong academic performance. Overall, Bart-Colerain Elementary School appears to be a high-performing school, but it faces challenges in serving a diverse student population and addressing the needs of economically disadvantaged students.
