Best Public Schools in Lock Haven, PA

Summary:

The city of Lock Haven, Pennsylvania is home to two elementary schools, Robb Elementary School and Woodward Elementary School, both part of the Keystone Central School District. While both schools serve students in the same district, the data reveals a significant performance gap, with Woodward Elementary consistently outperforming Robb Elementary across key academic metrics.

Woodward Elementary stands out as the higher-performing school, with significantly stronger proficiency rates on PSSA assessments in Math, Science, and English Language Arts compared to Robb Elementary and the state averages. In the 2023-2024 school year, Woodward had 59.7% of students proficient or better in PSSA Math, compared to 35.1% at Robb Elementary and 40.4% statewide. Woodward also had higher proficiency rates in PSSA Science (78.8% vs 69.7% at Robb) and PSSA English Language Arts (56.8% vs 34.9% at Robb). Additionally, Woodward's statewide school ranking has been in the top 50% of Pennsylvania elementary schools, while Robb Elementary has been in the bottom 25%.

The data also reveals potential socioeconomic factors that may contribute to the performance gap, with Robb Elementary serving a higher percentage of students receiving free/reduced lunch (78.6%) compared to Woodward (49.7%). This suggests Robb may have a more economically disadvantaged student population, which could be a factor in their lower academic achievement. Overall, the analysis highlights the need for further investigation into the underlying causes of the performance disparity between the two schools, in order to develop strategies to improve educational outcomes across the Keystone Central School District.
