Summary:

The city of Commodore, Pennsylvania is home to two schools that are part of the Purchase Line School District. The district is ranked 280 out of 606 school districts in Pennsylvania and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Based on the available data, the standout school in Commodore appears to be Purchase Line Junior/Senior High School. This school has a higher statewide ranking compared to the elementary school, ranking 296 out of 681 Pennsylvania high schools for the 2024-2025 school year and 188 out of 686 for the 2023-2024 school year. It also has a higher 4-year graduation rate of 87.9% and a lower dropout rate of 1.4% for the 2023-2024 school year. In contrast, Purchase Line Elementary School has lower proficiency rates in PSSA Math and English Language Arts compared to the state average, with the exception of 6th-grade English Language Arts.

Both schools in Commodore face significant economic challenges, with 100% of their students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year. This suggests that the student population is predominantly from low-income households, which can impact educational outcomes. While Purchase Line Junior/Senior High School has maintained a relatively consistent performance, the elementary school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, indicating a potential need for additional support and resources to address the academic needs of its students.
