Summary:
The 17517 zip code area is home to 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, all part of the Cocalico School District or the Eastern Lancaster County School District. The data reveals that the Cocalico Senior High School and Denver Elementary School stand out as high-performing institutions, consistently exceeding state averages on standardized tests and earning strong ratings from SchoolDigger.
The Cocalico School District schools generally outperform the state averages on Keystone Exams and PSSA tests, particularly in Math and Science. In contrast, Brecknock Elementary School, part of the Eastern Lancaster County School District, has lower test scores compared to the state and district averages. Cocalico Senior High School also boasts an impressive 87.5% four-year graduation rate and a low 1.6% dropout rate.
The data also reveals that the schools in the 17517 zip code area serve a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, with free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 37.6% to 46%. This suggests the need for additional resources and support to address the unique challenges faced by these students. The variation in spending per student, with Brecknock Elementary spending significantly more than the other schools, raises questions about the efficient allocation of resources and the factors driving these differences.
