Best Public Schools in Port Matilda, PA


Summary:

The city of Port Matilda, Pennsylvania is home to two elementary schools: Gray's Woods Elementary School and Port Matilda Elementary School. Gray's Woods Elementary stands out as the top performer, ranking in the top 25% of Pennsylvania elementary schools and consistently outpacing state averages in academic proficiency across multiple subjects and grade levels.

While Port Matilda Elementary School shows some strengths, such as 100% proficiency in 4th grade science, its overall academic metrics are more in line with or slightly below the state averages. The significant difference in performance between the two schools may be attributed to factors like school resources, teacher quality, and student demographics, as evidenced by the stark contrast in free/reduced lunch rates (11.92% at Gray's Woods vs. 41% at Port Matilda).

Interestingly, despite Port Matilda Elementary spending significantly more per student than Gray's Woods Elementary, this higher spending does not appear to translate into higher academic achievement. The data also suggests that the school districts these two schools belong to may play a role, with the State College Area School District (which Gray's Woods is part of) ranked much higher than the Bald Eagle Area School District (which Port Matilda belongs to).
