Summary

Hannah Penn is an elementary school in York, Pennsylvania that serves grades PK-8 and is part of the York City School District. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 5-10% of Pennsylvania elementary schools over the past decade, with significant underperformance on academic assessments compared to state and district averages.

Hannah Penn's academic performance is a major concern, with only 3.8% of students proficient or better in Math and 11.1% proficient in English Language Arts, far below the state and district averages. The school also has high dropout rates, ranging from 5.0% to 7.7% in recent years. While Hannah Penn spends significantly more per student ($20,886 in 2022-2023) than the state and district averages, this has not translated into improved outcomes for students.

When comparing Hannah Penn to other schools in the York City School District, it becomes clear that the academic performance issues are not unique to this school. Most nearby district schools, such as Devers School, Goode School, and McKinley School, also struggle with low proficiency rates and high dropout rates, indicating systemic challenges within the district that require targeted interventions and support to address.
