Summary:
The 17013 zip code area in Carlisle, Pennsylvania is home to 8 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school, all part of the Carlisle Area School District, except for Middlesex Elementary School which is part of the Cumberland Valley School District.
Among the standout schools in the area are Crestview Elementary School, which has the highest PSSA test scores across multiple subjects and grade levels, and Mooreland Elementary School, which also has strong PSSA performance, particularly in math and science. Meanwhile, Lamberton Middle School has maintained a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past 3 years, better than the 2-star rating for the overall district.
The data reveals performance disparities, with some schools like Hamilton Elementary lagging behind in academic achievement, while others like Crestview and Mooreland excel. There are also indications of potential equity issues, as schools with higher percentages of minority students tend to have lower performance. Additionally, higher spending per student at the middle schools does not necessarily translate to better outcomes compared to the top-performing elementary schools.
