Both Corry Area Primary School and Corry Area Intermediate School have a significant economic need, with 100% of their students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. However, Corry Area Intermediate School stands out as a stronger performer, consistently outperforming the district and state averages on PSSA tests in math, science, and English language arts.

Additionally, Corry Area Intermediate School has a lower student-teacher ratio of 11.1, compared to 12.0 at the primary school, which may contribute to its academic success.

While Corry Area Intermediate School's performance is commendable, the data also reveals an area for improvement in 4th-grade math, where proficiency rates, although above the district average, fall short of the state average. The higher spending per student at Corry Area Primary School ($17,613) compared to Corry Area Intermediate School ($16,756) may indicate the additional resources and support needed for younger students, such as more specialized staff, smaller class sizes, and targeted interventions.
