Best Public Schools in Zip Code 17582

Summary:

The 17582 zip code area in Pennsylvania 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 serve the same district, the data analysis reveals that Letort Elementary School stands out as the top performer in the area.

Letort Elementary School is ranked in the top 10% of Pennsylvania elementary schools, with a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger, the highest possible. The school consistently outperforms the district and state averages in PSSA test scores across subjects, with 76.4% of students proficient or better in math, compared to 57.2% for the district and 40.4% for the state. In contrast, Central Manor Elementary School, while still a strong performer, is ranked 402 out of 1,526 Pennsylvania elementary schools and has a 4-star rating.

The data also shows that Letort Elementary School has a lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively higher socioeconomic status of its student population. However, the lower student-teacher ratio at Central Manor Elementary School does not appear to be translating into better academic outcomes compared to Letort. The consistent high performance of Letort Elementary School suggests that the school has established effective teaching and learning practices that could potentially be shared with other schools in the district to improve educational outcomes across the region.
