Octorara Area School District


Summary:

The Octorara Area School District in Pennsylvania operates 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. While the district faces significant socioeconomic challenges, with high free/reduced lunch rates, there are some bright spots in academic performance, particularly at the elementary and middle school levels.

The Octorara Primary LC and Octorara Elementary School stand out for their relatively strong performance on PSSA tests, with Octorara Elementary School exceeding state averages in 4th grade Science and ELA proficiency. At the middle school level, the Octorara Intermediate School had the highest math proficiency rates in the district, closer to state averages than the overall district performance.

However, the Octorara Area Junior/Senior High School struggles, with low Keystone Exam proficiency rates and a declining statewide ranking. The district as a whole lags behind state averages in most grade levels and subjects, likely due to the significant socioeconomic challenges faced by the student population. Targeted interventions, particularly in areas like math proficiency, could help drive districtwide improvements.
