Mt. Vernon Elementary has a higher percentage of students proficient or better in PSSA Math, Science, and English Language Arts assessments compared to the district and state. The school also spends more per student ($16,647) than Greenock Elementary ($16,013), which may contribute to its stronger academic performance. Additionally, Mt.
