Summary

Cumru Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Shillington, Pennsylvania, serving 435 students in grades PK-4 as part of the Governor Mifflin School District. While the school has seen a steady increase in per-student spending and maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio, its academic performance has been consistently below the state averages in Math and English Language Arts (ELA) over the past few years.

Cumru Elementary's PSSA (Pennsylvania System of School Assessment) scores in 2024-2025 showed a 41.3% proficiency rate in Math and 33.5% in ELA, compared to the state averages of 41.7% and 48.5%, respectively. However, the school's performance in Science has been relatively stronger, with 84% of students proficient or better in 2023-2024, exceeding the state average of 65.8%. Interestingly, the school's Hispanic students have performed significantly better than the overall student population, earning a 3-star rating in 2024-2025, while the school's White, Low Socioeconomic Status, and Disabled students have all performed below their respective state averages.

Comparing Cumru Elementary to nearby schools, Mifflin Park Elementary School within the same district has performed similarly, while Wyomissing Hills Elementary Center in the neighboring Wyomissing Area School District has consistently outperformed Cumru Elementary in both Math and ELA proficiency. Additionally, Cumru Elementary has seen a significant increase in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, from 53.9% in 2021-2022 to 99.31% in 2023-2024, which may be a contributing factor to the school's lower academic performance.
