The school's relatively high spending per student, ranging from $13,069 to $17,570 over the past few years, and low student-teacher ratio, between 8.9 and 9.8 students per teacher, may contribute to its success. Compared to nearby schools like Northern Potter Childrens School and Port Allegany Elementary School, Coudersport Area Elementary School outperforms them in both Math and English Language Arts proficiency across all grades.
