Summary

B F Morey Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 233 students in grades K-4 in Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania, which is part of the Stroudsburg Area School District. While the school has a relatively high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratio, its academic performance, as measured by PSSA test scores, is generally below the district and state averages across grades and subjects.

In 2024-2025, B F Morey Elementary's proficiency rates in Math (40.8%) and English Language Arts (43.4%) for all grades were lower than the Stroudsburg Area School District (46.4% and 51.6%) and the state of Pennsylvania (41.7% and 48.5%). The school's performance is particularly weak in 4th grade, where proficiency rates in Math (35.1%) and ELA (35.1%) are significantly lower than the district and state. However, the school's 3rd grade performance is closer to the district and state averages, suggesting potential room for improvement in the upper elementary grades.

Nearby schools within the Stroudsburg Area School District, such as Hamilton Township Elementary and Chipperfield Elementary, generally outperform B F Morey Elementary on academic measures. Additionally, the school's lower performance for subgroups like Hispanic students and low-socioeconomic status students suggests potential equity issues that may need to be addressed through targeted interventions and support.

My children (grades K & 2) are both new to the Stroudsburg School District this year. We absolutely love Morey Elementary. They make our children work hard at learning what they need to. They make it a fun & nurturing enviornment as well. They teach responsibility & respect, kindness & caring. Parent involvement is strongly encouraged & the PTA holds functions throughout the year so that parents can be involved in the school & meet the children our kids go to school with. I would recommend this school to anyone! Close Quote
