Summary

Mt Penn Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades 3-6 in the Antietam School District, with 259 students located in Mount Penn, PA. Despite consistent funding and a small student-teacher ratio, the school has consistently underperformed compared to state and district averages, ranking in the bottom 25% of Pennsylvania elementary schools over the past 10 years.

Academically, only 22.7% of Mt Penn Elementary students were proficient or better in PSSA Math in the 2024-2025 school year, compared to 41.7% statewide. Similarly, only 34.4% were proficient or better in PSSA English Language Arts, compared to 48.5% statewide. The school's performance also varies greatly by student subgroup, with only 16.7% of Hispanic students and 17.7% of disabled students proficient or better in PSSA Math. Additionally, the school spends significantly more per student ($21,147 in 2022-2023) compared to the state average, but this has not translated into improved academic outcomes.

When compared to nearby schools in the Reading School District, such as Tenth & Penn Elementary School, Mt Penn Elementary School performs significantly worse on PSSA assessments. Despite consistent funding and a small student-teacher ratio, the school has not shown any meaningful improvement in its academic performance over the past 10 years, suggesting the need for a comprehensive, data-driven approach to address the root causes of the school's challenges and implement effective interventions to support student learning.
