Best Public Schools in Lock Haven, PA

Summary:

The city of Lock Haven, Pennsylvania is home to two elementary schools, Robb Elementary School and Woodward Elementary School, both part of the Keystone Central School District. While both schools serve students in the same community, the data reveals a significant performance gap between the two, with Woodward Elementary consistently outperforming Robb Elementary on various academic measures.

Woodward Elementary stands out as the higher-performing school, with students scoring significantly better on PSSA exams across multiple subjects and grade levels. In the 2024-2025 school year, 56.6% of Woodward students were proficient or better in Math, compared to just 38.7% for the district and 41.7% for the state. Woodward's statewide ranking has also improved over the past few years, moving from 806th out of 1,534 Pennsylvania elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 648th out of 1,511 in 2024-2025, earning it a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

In contrast, Robb Elementary appears to be a lower-performing school, with test scores consistently below the district and state averages. Both schools have 100% of their students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating high levels of poverty in the student population. Despite the performance gap, the spending per student is relatively similar between the two schools, suggesting that factors other than funding may be driving the differences in academic outcomes.
