Summary:
The city of Hadley, Pennsylvania is home to two schools - Commodore Perry School, an elementary school, and Commodore Perry Junior/Senior High School. These schools serve students from the Commodore Perry School District.
Commodore Perry School stands out as a strong-performing elementary school, consistently ranking in the top third of Pennsylvania elementary schools and earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school outperforms state and district averages on PSSA tests, particularly in 4th and 5th grade Math and 4th grade Science. In contrast, Commodore Perry Junior/Senior High School has shown significant improvement, moving from the bottom 10% of Pennsylvania high schools to the top 15% in recent years and earning a 4-star rating.
While Commodore Perry Junior/Senior High School excels on Keystone Exams and PSSA English Language Arts, its PSSA Math scores for 7th and 8th grade students are below state and district averages, suggesting a need to strengthen the Math curriculum and instructional strategies as students transition from elementary to secondary education. Additionally, the significant difference in spending per student between the two schools ($17,912 for the elementary school vs. $28,070 for the high school) warrants further investigation to ensure equitable and effective resource allocation across the district.
