Summary

Kissel Hill Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Lititz, Pennsylvania, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 574 students. The school is part of the Warwick School District, which is ranked 121 out of 606 school districts in Pennsylvania and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Kissel Hill Elementary School consistently outperforms the Warwick School District and the state of Pennsylvania in PSSA (Pennsylvania System of School Assessment) test scores for both Math and English Language Arts across all grade levels. In the 2024-2025 school year, Kissel Hill's proficiency rates in Math and ELA for all grades were 58.5% and 62.2%, respectively, compared to the district's 48.6% and 59.3%, and the state's 41.7% and 48.5%. The school's performance is particularly strong in 4th and 6th grade PSSA tests, with proficiency rates exceeding 65% in both Math and ELA. However, the school's Disabled students struggle, ranking 716 out of 1,030 Pennsylvania elementary schools in the 2024-2025 school year.

Kissel Hill Elementary School has a relatively high per-student spending, with $15,261 spent per student in the 2022-2023 school year, compared to the state average. The school also maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio, with 16.5 students per teacher in the 2023-2024 school year, which is lower than the nearby schools in the Warwick School District. While these resources may contribute to the school's academic success, the significant gap in performance between female and male students, as well as the relatively lower performance of Disabled students, suggests the need for targeted interventions and support to address these disparities.
