Summary:
The Roaring Spring, Pennsylvania area 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 perform at an average level within the state, there are opportunities for improvement, particularly in academic achievement and addressing the lack of diversity among the predominantly white student population.
Both schools have relatively similar student enrollments, with Spring Cove Middle School serving 376 students and Spring Cove Elementary School serving 350 students. However, the schools underperform the state average in PSSA Math and English Language Arts proficiency across all grade levels. For example, in 8th grade Math, Spring Cove Middle School had a 20.3% proficiency rate, compared to the state average of 26%. Additionally, both schools have a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, around 52%, indicating a relatively low-income student population that may require additional support and resources.
Despite the average performance, the schools maintain a consistent 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, suggesting they are performing at a level typical for the state. The student-teacher ratios are also relatively low, with Spring Cove Middle School at 14.9 and Spring Cove Elementary School at 12.7. However, the lack of diversity in the student population, with over 93% of students being white, is an area the district may want to address to provide a more inclusive learning environment for all students.
