Summary

Devers School is an elementary school located in York, Pennsylvania, serving grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 693 students. It is part of the York City School District, which is ranked 563 out of 606 school districts in Pennsylvania and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. Devers School has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of Pennsylvania elementary schools over the past several years, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Devers School consistently underperforms compared to the state and district averages on PSSA (Pennsylvania System of School Assessment) tests. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 11.2% of Devers students were proficient or better in PSSA Math, compared to 41.7% statewide and 10.5% in the York City School District. Similarly, only 24.4% of Devers students were proficient or better in PSSA English Language Arts, compared to 48.5% statewide and 16.1% in the district. Devers School also struggles to support the academic achievement of various student subgroups, such as English Language Learners and students with disabilities.

When comparing Devers School to other nearby schools in the York City School District, it becomes clear that Devers is one of the lowest-performing schools in the district. For example, Edgar Fahs Smith STEAM Academy, which is less than a mile away from Devers, significantly outperforms Devers on PSSA tests, with 28.3% of students proficient or better in Math and 33.2% in English Language Arts. Despite relatively high per-student spending and a relatively low student-teacher ratio, the school's academic outcomes remain well below state and district averages, indicating that addressing the underlying factors that contribute to this persistent underperformance will be crucial for improving the educational outcomes at Devers School.
