Best Public Schools in Corry, PA

Summary:

The city of Corry, Pennsylvania is home to 4 schools serving students from elementary through high school, all part of the Corry Area School District. While the schools share some common challenges, such as high poverty levels, they exhibit varying academic performance, with Corry Area Middle School standing out as the top-performing school in the district.

Corry Area Middle School is the highest-ranked school in the district, achieving a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger and outperforming the state average on PSSA Math and English Language Arts tests across grades 6-8. In contrast, Corry Area High School has mixed results, with strong performance in Keystone Exams for Biology and Literature but lagging in Algebra I. The two elementary schools, Corry Area Primary School and Corry Area Intrmd School, show more varied academic performance, with Corry Area Primary School having the most diverse student population in the district.

A significant finding across all Corry schools is the high level of economic disadvantage, with 100% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. This suggests the district faces significant challenges in supporting its students, despite relatively high per-student spending. Understanding the strategies employed by the district to address these challenges and promote equity in educational opportunities would be valuable in understanding the overall educational landscape in Corry.
