Penn Cambria Intrmd School

Summary:

Penn Cambria Intrmd School is a public elementary school located in Lilly, Pennsylvania, serving grades 3-4 with a total enrollment of 211 students. The school is part of the Penn Cambria School District, which is ranked 186 out of 610 school districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Penn Cambria Intrmd School has shown mixed academic performance in recent years, with its statewide ranking fluctuating between 316 (2013-2014) and 960 (2021-2022) out of over 1,500 Pennsylvania elementary schools. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's performance was above the state average in Science (75% proficient or better) and English Language Arts (58.8% proficient or better), but below the state average in Math (46.5% proficient or better). The school's performance on PSSA Math has been a concern, with proficiency rates ranging from 33.2% to 50% in recent years, compared to the state average of around 40%. However, the school's performance on PSSA Science has been a strength, with proficiency rates consistently above 70% and exceeding the state average.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Blacklick Valley Elementary Center and Portage Area Elementary School, Penn Cambria Intrmd School's performance is significantly lower, particularly in Math and English Language Arts. This may be due in part to the school's high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients (around 50%), suggesting a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among its student population. Addressing the needs of underperforming student subgroups and the potential impact of socioeconomic factors could be key areas of focus for the school's improvement efforts.

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.
