Corry Area School District

The Corry Area School District in Pennsylvania operates 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, serving students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade. The district faces some academic and socioeconomic challenges, but also has pockets of success, particularly at Corry Area Middle School, which outperformed the state average on standardized tests and maintained a 0% dropout rate.

Among the district's schools, Corry Area Middle School stands out as the highest-performing, ranking 293 out of 893 Pennsylvania middle schools and earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school exceeded the state average on PSSA Math and English Language Arts assessments across grades 6-8. In contrast, Corry Area High School had mixed results on Keystone Exams, performing well in Literature but lagging behind in Algebra I and Biology.

Across the district, the schools face significant socioeconomic challenges, with 100% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. This economic disadvantage may be a contributing factor to the academic performance of the schools, and the district may need to explore targeted interventions and support programs to address these challenges. By identifying and sharing best practices from the higher-performing schools, the district can work towards improving the overall educational outcomes for its students.
