Summary

Shoemaker Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Macungie, Pennsylvania, serving 541 students in grades K-5. It is part of the East Penn School District, which is ranked 79 out of 606 school districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Shoemaker Elementary consistently ranks in the top 25% of Pennsylvania elementary schools, with a current ranking of 163 out of 1,511 schools for the 2024-2025 school year. The school's PSSA test scores are significantly higher than the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas, particularly in Math and Science. Shoemaker spends more per student ($18,224 in 2022-2023) compared to the state average, which may contribute to the school's high academic performance and its relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.7 in 2023-2024.

While Shoemaker Elementary outperforms most of the nearby schools in the East Penn School District, including Wescosville Elementary, Jefferson Elementary, and Lincoln Elementary, the only nearby school that appears to match or exceed Shoemaker's performance is Macungie Elementary, which is located just 0.1 miles away. When compared to schools outside the East Penn School District, such as Fred J. Jaindl Elementary and Cetronia School in the Parkland School District, Shoemaker's performance is still strong, but these schools demonstrate even higher academic achievement.
