Summary

Cochranton Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades K-6 in the Crawford Central School District in Cochranton, PA. The school has 332 students and has consistently been rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger over the past several years.

Cochranton Elementary faces significant challenges, with over 99% of its students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a very high percentage of students from low-income households. This is significantly higher than the state average and the other nearby schools in the district. The school's proficiency rates on the PSSA exams in both Math and English Language Arts are generally lower than the Crawford Central School District and the state of Pennsylvania averages across all grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's Math proficiency rate of 44.2% was lower than the district's 34.6% and the state's 41.7%. The school also ranks lower than the state average for White students and students with disabilities.

Despite the school's lower performance, its consistent 2-star rating from SchoolDigger suggests there may be opportunities for the school to implement targeted interventions and strategies to improve student learning and achievement, especially for its high-needs student population. The school's high spending per student, around $14,500 per year, does not seem to translate into stronger academic outcomes compared to the state and district averages. The stark contrast in performance compared to nearby schools within the same district, such as West End Elementary which had a Math proficiency rate of 58.8% in 2024-2025, indicates potential areas for improvement.
