Summary:
The Marion Center Area School District consists of 3 schools serving grades K-12: Marion Center Area Junior/Senior High School, W.A. McCreery Elementary School, and Rayne Elementary School. The data reveals that the elementary schools in this district are standout performers, consistently ranking in the top 50% of Pennsylvania elementary schools and outperforming the district and state averages on standardized tests.
W.A. McCreery Elementary School and Rayne Elementary School both have 3-star ratings from SchoolDigger and excel in Math, Science, and English Language Arts. These elementary schools also have lower student-teacher ratios compared to the high school, suggesting smaller class sizes that may contribute to their academic success. In contrast, the high school struggles with test scores, often performing below district and state averages on PSSA and Keystone Exams.
Interestingly, the elementary schools have higher percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students. This suggests the district may need to allocate additional resources and support to address the needs of these students. Overall, the data highlights the strong performance of the elementary schools in the Marion Center Area School District, while also identifying areas for improvement at the high school level to ensure academic success for all students.
