Summary:
The 17582 zip code area is home to two elementary schools, Central Manor Elementary School and Letort Elementary School, both part of the Penn Manor School District. While both schools perform well, Letort Elementary stands out as an exceptional institution, consistently ranking among the top 150 elementary schools in Pennsylvania and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Letort Elementary's academic performance is particularly impressive, with students outperforming the district and state averages on PSSA tests across all grade levels and subject areas. In contrast, Central Manor Elementary School also performs well, but not to the same degree as its counterpart. Letort's student population is less diverse, with a higher percentage of white students and a lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a potential correlation between socioeconomic status and academic achievement.
Both schools have similar per-student spending, but Letort Elementary School has a higher student-teacher ratio, which may contribute to its exceptional performance. The data highlights the importance of addressing educational equity and the need to further investigate the practices and strategies employed by these schools to support student learning and development, particularly for diverse student populations.
