As part of the Carlisle Area School District, Mooreland consistently outperforms the district and the state of Pennsylvania in academic proficiency, with higher scores in PSSA Math, Science, and English Language Arts.

Mooreland's student population is more diverse compared to nearby schools, with a racial makeup of 58.42% White, 10.33% African American, 18.48% Hispanic, 4.89% Asian, and 7.61% two or more races. Additionally, Mooreland has a higher percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 52.45% receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which is higher than schools like North Dickinson Elementary (32.98%) and Middlesex Elementary (25.73%).

Mooreland's consistent academic performance, with 4-star ratings from SchoolDigger in recent years, suggests the school has effective teaching practices and curriculum. While Mooreland outperforms many nearby schools, there is still room for improvement, particularly in areas where proficiency rates are lower than the state average, such as 3rd grade PSSA Math and English Language Arts. Mooreland's unique characteristics, including its diverse student population and focus on supporting students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, make it an interesting case for further analysis and potential replication of successful practices.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
