Summary

Susquehanna Community Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-6 in Susquehanna, PA, part of the Susquehanna Community School District. With 446 students, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Pennsylvania elementary schools, receiving a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years.

Susquehanna Community Elementary School faces significant academic challenges, with students consistently underperforming the state average in both math and English language arts proficiency. In 2024-2025, the school's math proficiency rate was 36% compared to the state average of 41.7%, and its English language arts proficiency rate was 39.7% compared to the state average of 48.5%. The school's high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 93.05% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024, likely contributes to these academic struggles.

While Susquehanna Community Elementary School spends more per student ($23,162 in 2022-2023) compared to the state average and has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.6 in 2023-2024, these factors do not seem to translate into better academic outcomes. Nearby schools, such as Mountain View Elementary School, Lathrop Street Elementary School, and Preston School, generally outperform Susquehanna Community Elementary School in both academic achievement and socioeconomic indicators, suggesting that the challenges faced by Susquehanna Community Elementary School may be unique to its specific context.
