Best Public Schools in Zip Code 17202

Summary:

The 17202 zip code area in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania is home to 8 schools, including 7 elementary schools and 1 high school, all part of the Chambersburg Area School District. While the district as a whole is ranked 350 out of 610 school districts in Pennsylvania and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, several standout schools in the area demonstrate strong academic performance.

Guilford Hills Elementary School consistently outperforms the district and state averages on PSSA tests for Math, Science, and English Language Arts, earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and ranking in the top 300 elementary schools in Pennsylvania. Similarly, South Hamilton Elementary School and Falling Spring Elementary School demonstrate above-average proficiency rates on PSSA tests and receive 3-4 star ratings from SchoolDigger.

In contrast, schools with higher percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, such as Grandview Elementary School and Marion Elementary School, tend to have lower proficiency rates on PSSA tests. Additionally, while per-student spending varies widely across the schools, the higher-spending schools do not necessarily have the best academic outcomes, suggesting that factors other than funding may be more important in driving student success.
