Summary:
The 19310 zip code area is home to 4 schools in the Octorara Area School District, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. While the elementary and intermediate schools show some academic strengths, the high school consistently underperforms compared to state averages, particularly on Keystone Exams.
Octorara Primary LC and Octorara Intermediate School both outperform the district and state averages on PSSA Math and English Language Arts assessments for grades 3-6. Octorara Elementary School also stands out with strong PSSA Science proficiency rates. In contrast, Octorara Area Junior/Senior High School lags behind the state in Keystone Exam performance, particularly in Algebra I and Biology.
The schools in this district serve a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, as evidenced by the high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients. This may be a contributing factor to the lower academic performance, especially at the high school level. However, the stronger performance of the elementary and intermediate schools suggests the district is making progress in addressing these challenges, with the potential for improved outcomes at the high school in the future.
