Summary:
The 17090 zip code has only one elementary school, Carroll Elementary School, which is part of the West Perry School District. While the district is ranked 392 out of 606 school districts in Pennsylvania and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, Carroll Elementary School's academic performance appears to be struggling, with proficiency rates in math, English Language Arts, and science falling below the state averages.
Carroll Elementary School's math and English Language Arts proficiency rates were below the state average for all grades in the 2024-2025 and 2023-2024 school years, with 3rd and 5th grades being the closest to the state average. The school's science proficiency rates for 4th grade in 2023-2024 were also below the state average. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 101.2% in the 2023-2024 school year, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $25,465 for the 2022-2023 school year and a low student-teacher ratio of 11.8 for the 2023-2024 school year, the academic performance data suggests that the school may be facing challenges in supporting student learning and meeting state standards. The district and school may need to explore targeted interventions or additional support to improve student achievement at Carroll Elementary School.
