Summary:
The Tobyhanna, Pennsylvania area is home to two elementary schools - Clear Run Intermediate School and Clear Run Elementary Center. Both schools have consistently performed below average compared to state and district standards, with low proficiency rates in key subjects like math and English language arts. The schools serve a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, as evidenced by the high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
While the schools allocate significant resources, with high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratios, this does not seem to be translating into improved academic outcomes. Both Clear Run Intermediate School and Clear Run Elementary Center have consistently ranked in the bottom half of Pennsylvania elementary schools, with 1-2 star ratings from SchoolDigger. The Pocono Mountain School District, which the two schools are a part of, is also ranked 343 out of 610 districts in the state.
The data suggests that the Tobyhanna area schools may benefit from targeted interventions and support to address the underlying factors contributing to their low performance, such as teacher quality, curriculum, and support for students from disadvantaged backgrounds. Improving the academic outcomes of these schools is crucial for the success and well-being of the local community.
