Summary:
The Tunkhannock Area School District in Pennsylvania is home to two elementary schools: the Tunkhannock Area Intermediate Center (grades 3-6) and the Tunkhannock Area Primary Center (grades K-2). These schools serve a student population with significant economic challenges, as evidenced by the extremely high rates of free and reduced-price lunch eligibility.
Despite these challenges, the Tunkhannock Area Intermediate Center stands out for its consistently high science proficiency rates, which are significantly above the district and state averages. In contrast, the school's math and English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency rates are more mixed, with some grade levels performing above and others below the state averages. The Tunkhannock Area Primary Center also faces similar economic challenges, with 100% of its students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
Both schools in the Tunkhannock Area School District receive significant funding, with high spending per student and small student-teacher ratios. However, the economic disadvantages faced by the student population may require additional targeted support and interventions to ensure equitable educational outcomes across all subject areas and grade levels.
