In 2024-2025, the school had 62% of students proficient or better in PSSA Math, compared to 45.2% for the district and 41.7% for the state. In the same year, the school had 52% of students proficient or better in PSSA English Language Arts, compared to 47.3% for the district and 48.5% for the state.

Dedicated staff, wonderful principal. My four children had a great experience there. Close Quote

I would give zero if possible. Teachers consider it adequate for students to fail tests give point just for turning in homework so it appears as though the student is passing. When parents try to communication, responses are blunt and belittling and questions are unanswered. Close Quote
