Best Public Schools in Zip Code 17317

Summary:

The 17317 zip code area is home to a single elementary school, Canadochly Elementary School, which serves students from kindergarten through 5th grade and is part of the Eastern York School District. While the school has some areas of strength, such as higher-than-average proficiency rates in PSSA Science, its overall performance, as measured by its statewide ranking and SchoolDigger star rating, is relatively average compared to other Pennsylvania elementary schools.

Canadochly Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Pennsylvania elementary schools, with a ranking between 774 and 942 out of 1,526 to 1,534 schools over the past three school years. The school has maintained a 2-star rating out of 5 from SchoolDigger, indicating average performance compared to other schools in the state. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates in PSSA Math (39.3%) and PSSA English Language Arts (45%) were below the state and district averages, but its PSSA Science proficiency rate (89.6%) was significantly higher than the state (65.8%) and district (73.5%) averages.

The school's higher-than-average per-student spending of $15,916 for the 2021-2022 school year, along with its relatively low student-to-teacher ratio of 12.3, suggest that the school may be facing socioeconomic challenges, as indicated by the high percentage of students (55.91%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Understanding the factors contributing to the school's strong science performance could provide insights that could be applied to other subject areas and help address the uneven academic performance across the curriculum.
