Summary:
The 17111 zip code area of Pennsylvania is home to 6 schools, including 5 elementary schools and 1 alternative/virtual school. The elementary schools are part of the Central Dauphin School District, which is ranked 372 out of 610 school districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Among the elementary schools, Rutherford Elementary School and Paxtang Elementary School stand out as the stronger-performing schools, outpacing the district and state averages in math, science, and English language arts proficiency. However, the other elementary schools in the area struggle to meet state and district performance levels, particularly in math and English language arts. The high poverty levels, with all elementary schools having over 99% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, likely contribute to the varying academic outcomes observed.
As an alternative/virtual school, Reach Cyber Charter School faces unique challenges, with significantly lower proficiency rates compared to state averages across all subjects and grade levels. Despite this, the school maintains a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 87.5% and a low dropout rate of 1.6%. The per-student spending at Reach Cyber Charter School is also higher than the elementary schools in the area.
