Summary

Liberty-Curtin Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 147 students in grades K-4 in Blanchard, Pennsylvania, which is part of the Keystone Central School District. The school consistently outperforms the district and state averages in PSSA Math and Science assessments, with 65.6% of all grades proficient or better in Math and 80% of 4th graders proficient or better in Science. However, the school's performance in PSSA English Language Arts is more mixed, often falling below the district and state averages.

Liberty-Curtin Elementary School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 10.2 to 10.9 students per teacher, and its per-student spending has been higher than the district and state averages, ranging from $16,264 to $23,002 per student in recent years. This suggests the school may have effective teaching practices and curriculum in Math and Science, which could be worth further investigation and potential replication in other schools. The school's challenges in English Language Arts, however, require attention and improvement, and understanding the underlying factors could help the school develop targeted strategies to address this gap.

When compared to other elementary schools in the Keystone Central School District and nearby districts, such as Pleasant Gap Elementary and Woodward Elementary, Liberty-Curtin Elementary School generally performs better in Math and Science, but lags behind in English Language Arts. These higher-performing schools could serve as models for best practices that Liberty-Curtin Elementary School could learn from to improve its overall academic outcomes.
