Summary:
The city of Quarryville, Pennsylvania is home to 5 schools serving students from elementary through high school, including 2 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school. The schools in this area show a mix of strengths and areas for improvement, with some standout performers like Clermont Elementary School and Quarryville Elementary School outpacing the district and state averages on key metrics.
The Solanco School District as a whole appears to be underperforming compared to state averages on measures like test scores and graduation rates, suggesting potential areas for improvement district-wide. However, the elementary schools in Quarryville seem to be outperforming the middle schools, indicating a need to focus on improving middle school performance. Additionally, the high free/reduced lunch rates across the schools point to a relatively high-need student population that may require additional resources and support.
Within the district, Solanco High School has seen a concerning decline in its state ranking over the past few years, dropping from 419 in 2023-2024 to 446 in 2024-2025. This trend warrants further investigation. Meanwhile, the variation in student-teacher ratios across the schools, from 10.0 at Swift Middle School to 17.3 at Solanco High School, could be an area to explore as a potential contributor to student outcomes.
