Elementary Schools in Reading School District

Summary:

The Reading School District in Pennsylvania is home to 13 elementary schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. While the district faces significant challenges, with all schools having 100% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, a few standout schools demonstrate relatively stronger performance.

Thirteenth & Union Elementary School consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in the district, outperforming the district and state averages in math, science, and English language arts proficiency. Lauers Park Elementary School and Glenside Elementary School also stand out, with Lauers Park excelling in science and Glenside performing well in English language arts.

However, the district as a whole struggles with significant underperformance in math and English language arts, with most schools ranking in the bottom quartile of Pennsylvania elementary schools. The persistent challenges faced by the Reading School District suggest the need for a comprehensive, data-driven approach to address the educational needs of its students and provide them with the support and resources they require to succeed.
