Summary:

The Red Lion Area School District in Pennsylvania consists of 8 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district as a whole is ranked 339 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 for their strong academic performance. Pleasant View Elementary School and N Hopewell-Winterstown Elementary School consistently perform above the district and state averages on PSSA math and English language arts tests, with over 50% of students proficient or better in both subjects. Locust Grove Elementary School also has strong test scores, particularly in 3rd and 4th grade math and English language arts.

However, the data reveals significant variation in school performance across the district. While some schools excel, others struggle to meet proficiency standards, with as low as 4.8% of 5th graders at Mazie Gable Elementary proficient in math. This disparity appears to be linked to socioeconomic factors, as the schools with the highest percentages of free/reduced lunch recipients tend to have lower test scores. The district's spending per student also varies widely, from $14,530 at Larry J. Macaluso Elementary to $19,692 at Red Lion Area Senior High School, but this does not necessarily translate to better outcomes.
