Summary:

The Cocalico School District in Pennsylvania is home to five schools, including three elementary schools, one middle school, and one high school. The district is known for its strong academic performance, with several standout schools that consistently excel.

Cocalico Senior High School is a standout, consistently ranking among the top high schools in Pennsylvania and maintaining a high 4-star rating. The school boasts impressive Keystone Exam proficiency rates, exceeding the state average in Algebra I, Biology, and Literature, and has a high graduation rate of 87.9% and a low dropout rate of 1.4%. Denver Elementary School also stands out, outperforming the district and state averages on PSSA Math and English Language Arts assessments across all grade levels, particularly in 5th grade and 4th grade Science.

While the district as a whole performs well above the state averages on Keystone Exams and PSSA assessments, there are some variations in performance among the schools. Adamstown Elementary and Reamstown Elementary show more mixed results, with some grade levels performing above the district average and others below. The district's relatively high per-student spending and favorable student-teacher ratios suggest a commitment to providing ample resources and support for students, which likely contributes to the overall strong academic performance.
