Summary

East Pennsboro Elementary School is a public elementary school in Enola, Pennsylvania, serving 610 students in grades K-5 as part of the East Pennsboro Area School District. The school consistently outperforms the district and state averages in academic assessments, particularly in Math and Science, and has a strong track record of supporting the academic success of specific student subgroups.

East Pennsboro Elementary School's academic performance is a standout, with proficiency rates in Math (57.9%) and English Language Arts (50.5%) that exceed the district (41.8% in Math, 51.7% in ELA) and state (41.7% in Math, 48.5% in ELA) averages. The school's 4th-grade Science proficiency rate of 88.5% is also significantly higher than the district (83.2%) and state (77.1%) averages. Within the East Pennsboro Area School District, East Pennsboro Elementary outperforms its counterpart, West Creek Hills Elementary School, in both Math and ELA proficiency.

While East Pennsboro Elementary School's overall academic performance is strong, it faces some challenges when compared to higher-performing schools in the region, such as Eisenhower Elementary School in the Camp Hill School District. The school also serves a significant population of students from low-income families, with around 50% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. However, the school's strong performance with this student subgroup suggests it is effectively addressing their needs and providing the necessary resources and support for academic success.

by a parent
Saturday, June 2, 2012

My daughter attended this school for four years. Except for one kindergarten teacher, other teachers didn't seem to be motivated to teach and lacked sufficient experience. There is not enough importance given to homework. Students' strengths and weaknesses were not properly recognized and addressed. We were not satisfied with the overall program. Close Quote
