Summary:
The Coudersport Area School District in Pennsylvania consists of two schools: Coudersport Area Elementary School and Coudersport Area Junior/Senior High School. The data reveals that the elementary school is the standout performer, consistently ranking higher than the junior/senior high school on statewide assessments and outpacing district and state averages, particularly in science and math.
Coudersport Area Elementary School has 283 students and a lower student-teacher ratio of 8.9, compared to 275 students and a ratio of 10.7 at the junior/senior high school. The elementary school also spends more per student ($16,253) than the junior/senior high school ($17,309). However, the elementary school has a higher percentage of free and reduced lunch recipients at 50.18%, suggesting a greater need for additional support and resources to address potential socioeconomic challenges.
While the junior/senior high school maintains a respectable 87.5% four-year graduation rate and a low 1.6% dropout rate, the data indicates a drop in academic performance from the elementary to the secondary level, as seen in the PSSA and Keystone Exam scores. This may indicate a need to better support students during the transition to high school. Overall, the Coudersport Area School District as a whole is ranked 212 out of 610 districts in Pennsylvania and is rated 3 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, suggesting there may be room for improvement across the district.
