Best Public Schools in Cochranton, PA


Summary:

The city of Cochranton, Pennsylvania is home to two schools - Cochranton Junior/Senior High School and Cochranton Elementary School, both part of the Crawford Central School District. While the high school exhibits strong graduation rates and English Language Arts performance, it struggles in math assessments. The elementary school, on the other hand, performs better in science and English Language Arts but lags behind in math.

Cochranton Junior/Senior High School stands out with a high 4-year graduation rate of 94.4% and a low dropout rate of 0.8%. However, the school's performance in PSSA Math assessments for 7th and 8th-grade students falls below the state and district averages. In contrast, the school excels in PSSA English Language Arts, with 7th and 8th-grade students scoring above the benchmarks. Cochranton Elementary School, with a student-teacher ratio of 15.2, the highest among the district's elementary schools, performs relatively well in PSSA Science assessments for 4th grade but struggles in PSSA Math for grades 3 through 6.

Both schools face significant socioeconomic challenges, with high rates of free and reduced lunch recipients - 87.64% at the high school and 99.11% at the elementary school. This suggests that the Cochranton community grapples with economic hardships, which may impact academic performance. The higher per-student spending at the high school ($19,141) compared to the elementary school ($14,541) indicates a potential focus on supporting the secondary level, but the effectiveness of this resource allocation is unclear.
