Summary:
The Old Forge School District in Pennsylvania has only one elementary school, Old Forge Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade. The school's performance has been mixed, with some strengths and areas for improvement.
Old Forge Elementary School has consistently ranked in the lower half of Pennsylvania elementary schools in recent years. While the school's 6th-grade proficiency rates in Math and English Language Arts were higher than the state averages, the overall proficiency rates in these subjects were below the state averages. However, the school's 4th-grade science proficiency rate was significantly higher than the state average. The school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12:1 and the district's spending per student is higher than the state average, which could be leveraged to support student success.
One notable challenge for the school is the high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. This factor may contribute to the school's overall academic performance and could be an area of focus for the district in terms of providing additional support and resources to address the needs of economically disadvantaged students.
