Summary

Dunmore Elementary Center is a public elementary school in Dunmore, Pennsylvania, serving 790 students in grades K-6. The school is part of the Dunmore School District, which is ranked 373 out of 606 districts in the state.

Academically, Dunmore Elementary Center has consistently ranked in the middle range of Pennsylvania elementary schools over the past decade. While the school's performance on PSSA Math tests is generally below the state average, its English Language Arts (ELA) and Science proficiency rates are closer to or above the state average. The school's diverse student population includes a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, and Hispanic students at the school perform particularly well, ranking in the top 125-94 out of around 450 Pennsylvania elementary schools for this subgroup.

Dunmore Elementary Center's relatively low student-teacher ratio and increasing per-student spending suggest a focus on resource allocation and potentially effective use of available funds. However, the school's overall academic performance, while not the lowest in the region, is still in the middle range, indicating a need to evaluate the efficiency and impact of resource utilization. The school's strengths in Science and ELA performance, as well as its focus on equity and supporting diverse learners, are notable, but the challenges in Math performance may require targeted interventions to improve overall academic outcomes.
