Summary

Mountville Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 563 students in grades K-6 in the Hempfield School District in Mountville, Pennsylvania. The school has consistently ranked in the top half of Pennsylvania elementary schools, with a current ranking of 400 out of 1,511 schools for the 2024-2025 school year.

Mountville Elementary School stands out for its strong academic performance, consistently outperforming the state averages in PSSA Math and English Language Arts proficiency across all grade levels. The school also performs exceptionally well for certain student subgroups, ranking 83rd out of 429 Pennsylvania elementary schools for Hispanic students and 224th out of 1,030 for disabled students in Math proficiency. However, the school has seen a significant increase in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, from 36.03% in 2021-2022 to 99.47% in 2023-2024, indicating a shift in the school's demographic and the need to address the unique educational needs of a more economically disadvantaged student population.

Compared to other Hempfield School District elementary schools, such as East Petersburg Elementary, Landisville Pri Center, and Rohrerstown Elementary, Mountville Elementary School generally outperforms them in terms of overall PSSA proficiency rates and state rankings. However, the school's statewide ranking has declined from 650 out of 1,534 schools in 2021-2022 to 400 out of 1,511 schools in 2024-2025, suggesting the school may be facing challenges in keeping pace with other high-performing schools in the state.
