Summary

Tunkhannock Area Intermediate Center is a public elementary school serving grades 3-6 in the Tunkhannock Area School District, located in Tunkhannock, Pennsylvania. With 606 students, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Pennsylvania elementary schools over the past 5 years, performing below the state average in both Math and English Language Arts across all grade levels.

The school's academic performance is particularly low for White students, who rank in the bottom 20% of Pennsylvania elementary schools in Math and English Language Arts. However, the school spends a relatively high amount per student, ranging from $20,430 to $23,917 per student over the past 4 years, and has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.8 to 12.8 students per teacher. This suggests that the district is investing significant resources into the school, but these efforts have not yet translated into improved academic achievement.

Compared to nearby schools in the Abington Heights School District, such as South Abington School, Waverly School, and Newton-Ransom Elementary School, Tunkhannock Area Intermediate Center performs significantly worse, with much higher academic proficiency rates. However, the school performs similarly to or slightly better than other nearby schools in the Elk Lake School District and Lake-Lehman School District, which also serve predominantly low-income student populations.
