Summary:
The 16025 zip code is home to a single elementary school, Chicora Elementary School, which serves grades K-6 and is part of the Karns City Area School District. With a total enrollment of 455 students, Chicora Elementary School has a mixed academic performance, with strengths in science but challenges in mathematics compared to state averages.
Chicora Elementary School is ranked 930 out of 1,526 Pennsylvania elementary schools and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. While the school's science proficiency scores are above the state average across all grades, its math proficiency is consistently below the state average, with the lowest performance in 6th grade. In English Language Arts, the school's performance is above the state average in 3rd grade but below the state average in 5th and 6th grades. The school's relatively high percentage of students from low-income families, as indicated by the 27.03% free and reduced-price lunch rate, may contribute to the academic challenges.
Despite the school's above-average per-student spending of $14,123 and a low student-teacher ratio of 15.7, the academic performance data suggests that these resources may not be translating into consistently strong student outcomes, particularly in mathematics. The school's strengths in science and its efforts to support students from low-income families should be further explored and leveraged to drive overall academic improvement.
