Summary

Hambright Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 589 students in grades K-6 in the Penn Manor School District in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. The school has consistently outperformed the state average in PSSA Math and English Language Arts proficiency across all grade levels, with 58.7% of students proficient or better in Math and 52.3% proficient or better in English Language Arts in 2024-2025, compared to state averages of 41.7% and 48.5%, respectively.

Hambright Elementary has also excelled in supporting certain student subgroups, with Hispanic students, African American students, English Language Learners, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds all ranking 4 or 5 out of 5 stars in recent years. This strong performance is particularly noteworthy given that the school has a relatively high percentage of free and reduced lunch recipients, reaching 64.69% in 2023-2024. Despite these socioeconomic challenges, Hambright has maintained impressive academic results, outperforming nearby Lancaster School District schools while lagging behind some of the top-performing schools in the Hempfield School District.

With a student-teacher ratio of 14.2 and spending around $14,000 per student, Hambright Elementary appears to have adequate resources and staffing to support its students' academic success. While the school's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, its consistent performance and strong support for underserved subgroups make it an impressive and noteworthy institution within the Penn Manor School District.
