Summary

Brecknock Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Mohnton, Pennsylvania, serving 490 students in grades K-4. The school is part of the Governor Mifflin School District, which is ranked 444 out of 606 districts in the state.

Brecknock Elementary consistently outperforms the district and state averages in PSSA (Pennsylvania System of School Assessment) test scores for Math and English Language Arts (ELA) across all grades. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, Brecknock's Math proficiency rate for all grades was 44.2%, compared to 33.4% for the district and 41.7% for the state. Similarly, its ELA proficiency rate for all grades was 40.5%, compared to 43.1% for the district and 48.5% for the state. The school's 4th-grade Science proficiency rates are also higher than the district and state, reaching 79% in 2023-2024.

However, Brecknock's overall statewide ranking has steadily declined over the past decade, from a high of 463 out of 1,554 Pennsylvania elementary schools in 2015-2016 to 986 out of 1,511 in 2024-2025. The school's SchoolDigger star rating has also decreased from 4 stars to 2 stars in recent years. This decline may be attributed to the school's growing percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which has increased from 41.41% in 2021-2022 to 99.39% in 2023-2024. When compared to other schools in the area, such as Robeson Elementary Center and Wyomissing Hills Elementary Center, Brecknock's performance is less impressive, with lower proficiency rates and rankings.
