Gettysburg Montessori Charter School is the sole elementary school located in the Gettysburg Montessori Charter School district, serving grades K-6 with an enrollment of 273 students. While the school lags behind the state average in math proficiency, it outperforms the state in science. The school's English Language Arts (ELA) performance is mixed, with some grades exceeding the state average and others falling behind. With a relatively high free/reduced lunch rate of 49.82%, the school serves a significant population of economically disadvantaged students.

Gettysburg Montessori Charter School is ranked 412 out of 610 school districts in Pennsylvania and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the past 3 years, ranking 921 out of 1,526 Pennsylvania elementary schools in 2023-2024, 982 out of 1,534 in 2022-2023, and 904 out of 1,534 in 2021-2022. Despite the lower overall ranking, the school's spending per student is higher than the state average at $12,146, and the student-teacher ratio is slightly lower than the state average at 14.7.

The school's strong focus on science education, with 80% of students proficient or better compared to 65.8% statewide, is a notable strength. However, the significant gap in math proficiency, particularly in 4th grade, where only 20% of students are proficient compared to 48.7% statewide, is an area that requires attention. The school's mixed ELA performance suggests a need for further analysis and targeted interventions to ensure all students are meeting or exceeding state standards across all subject areas.
