Elementary Schools in Eastern Lebanon County School District

Summary:

The Eastern Lebanon County School District in Pennsylvania is home to three elementary schools: ELCO Intermd School, Fort Zeller Elementary School, and Jackson Elementary School. These schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade in the eastern region of Lebanon County.

Among the three schools, ELCO Intermd School stands out as the top performer, with the highest PSSA Math and English Language Arts proficiency rates compared to the district and state averages. This school has consistently ranked higher among Pennsylvania elementary schools over the past few years, though it is still only rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger. In contrast, Fort Zeller Elementary School and Jackson Elementary School have lower proficiency rates compared to ELCO Intermd School and the state averages.

Despite the differences in academic performance, the three schools have similar student-teacher ratios, ranging from 12.2 to 12.8 students per teacher. However, there is a disparity in per-student spending, with Jackson Elementary School having the highest at $12,054, followed by Fort Zeller Elementary School at $11,004 and ELCO Intermd School at $9,965. This suggests that factors beyond just funding, such as teaching quality, curriculum, and school leadership, may play a significant role in student achievement.
