Summary:

The Crawford Central School District in Pennsylvania operates 8 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools. The district as a whole is ranked 332 out of 606 school districts in the state and is rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

Within the district, a few schools stand out. West End Elementary School consistently performs above the district and state averages on PSSA Math and English Language Arts tests, making it the highest-ranked school in the district at 3 out of 5 stars. Cochranton Junior/Senior High School also performs well, ranking in the top half of Pennsylvania high schools and earning 3 out of 5 stars. Meanwhile, Meadville Middle School stands out as the district's only dedicated middle school, with a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.7.

However, the data also reveals significant disparities in performance across the district. While some schools excel, others, such as Second District Elementary School and Neason Hill Elementary School, struggle with proficiency rates well below the state averages. This suggests a strong correlation between poverty, as indicated by high free/reduced lunch rates, and academic performance.
