Summary:

The city of Commodore, Pennsylvania has only one elementary school, Purchase Line Elementary School, which serves students from kindergarten through 6th grade. The school is part of the Purchase Line School District, a small, rural district in western Pennsylvania.

Based on the available data, Purchase Line Elementary School does not appear to be a standout performer in the region. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.8 to 1, its statewide ranking has declined over the past three years, dropping from 763 out of 1,526 Pennsylvania elementary schools in 2023-2024 to 869 out of 1,511 in 2024-2025. Additionally, the school's performance on PSSA tests is generally below the state average, with lower proficiency rates in both Math and English Language Arts across all grade levels.

Another notable characteristic of Purchase Line Elementary School is the high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which stands at 100%. This indicates a significant level of economic disadvantage among the student population. The school's low spending per student, at just $57 for the 2022-2023 school year, may also be a contributing factor to its academic performance and the resources available to students and teachers.
