Elementary Schools in North Pocono School District

The North Pocono School District in Pennsylvania is home to three exceptional elementary schools: Moscow Elementary School, North Pocono Intermediate School, and Jefferson Elementary School. These schools consistently demonstrate strong academic performance, with Moscow Elementary and Jefferson Elementary standing out as top-performing institutions in the district and the state.

Moscow Elementary School and Jefferson Elementary School have consistently high proficiency rates on the Pennsylvania System of School Assessment (PSSA) tests, exceeding the district and state averages in both Math and English Language Arts (ELA) for all grades and 3rd grade specifically. These schools are ranked among the top 30% and 50% of Pennsylvania elementary schools, respectively, indicating their exceptional academic performance.

While the schools in the North Pocono School District generally benefit from high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratios, the differences in the percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients among the schools suggest that socioeconomic factors may play a role in the observed academic performance. The district has an opportunity to identify and share the best practices of the higher-performing schools, such as Moscow Elementary and Jefferson Elementary, to help raise the overall academic achievement across the district.
