Summary:
Susquehanna Community School District has only one elementary school, Susquehanna Community Elementary School, which serves grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 440 students. The school has consistently performed below the state average on key academic metrics over the past three years, ranking 913 out of 1,526 Pennsylvania elementary schools with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Susquehanna Community Elementary School's proficiency rates in PSSA Math, Science, and English Language Arts (ELA) are all below the state averages across all grade levels. The school's performance is particularly low in 6th grade Math, with only 20.4% of students proficient or better, compared to the state average of 37.3%. Additionally, the school has a slightly higher dropout rate than the state average at 1.6%.
The school's high percentage of students (97.95%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch indicates a significant level of economic disadvantage among the student population. While the school's per-student spending is higher than the state average, and it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.2, these factors have not translated into improved academic outcomes. Targeted interventions and support focused on addressing the school's specific areas of weakness, such as 6th grade Math proficiency, may be necessary to drive improvements in student performance.
