Coatesville Area School District

Summary:

The Coatesville Area School District in Pennsylvania operates 8 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school. The district as a whole is ranked 507 out of 610 in Pennsylvania and is rated 1 star out of 5 by SchoolDigger, indicating significant challenges.

Within the district, a few schools stand out. Kings Highway Elementary School is the highest-ranked school in the district, outperforming both the district and state averages on PSSA tests, with 44% proficient or better in Math, 82.1% in Science, and 47% in English Language Arts. In contrast, Caln Elementary School has lower overall rankings but some bright spots, such as 53.9% proficiency in 4th grade Science and 39.4% proficient or better in 3rd grade Math.

Across the district, there are significant challenges. Graduation rates at Coatesville Area Senior High School are slightly below the state average, and all elementary and middle schools have 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating high levels of economic disadvantage. Standardized test scores are consistently well below state averages, suggesting systemic issues that need to be addressed.
