Best Public Schools in Roaring Spring, PA

Summary:

The city of Roaring Spring, Pennsylvania is home to two schools - Spring Cove Middle School and Spring Cove Elementary School, both part of the Spring Cove School District. While the schools serve different grade levels, the data analysis reveals that neither school is a standout performer, with both rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger and performing below the state average on standardized tests.

Enrollment at the two schools is relatively similar, with Spring Cove Middle School serving 376 students in grades 6-8 and Spring Cove Elementary School serving 350 students in grades K-2. However, the schools' statewide rankings tell a concerning story, with Spring Cove Middle School's ranking declining over the past three years and both schools performing in the bottom half of Pennsylvania schools.

The data also highlights the economic challenges faced by the schools, with both having high free/reduced lunch rates of over 50%. Despite spending more per student than the state average, the schools are still struggling to improve academic outcomes, particularly in Math. This suggests a need for a comprehensive district-wide improvement plan to address the underlying issues and provide a better educational experience for the students in Roaring Spring.
