Summary:

The 17232 zip code area has only one elementary school, Lurgan Elementary School, which is part of the Chambersburg Area School District. Lurgan Elementary serves 118 students and has a high percentage of students (100%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant economic challenges in the student population.

Lurgan Elementary's academic performance is mixed compared to the district and state averages. While the school excels in Science proficiency, it struggles in Math and English Language Arts, particularly in 3rd grade. Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.7 to 1 and higher per-student spending than the state average, the school's overall performance suggests it may need to focus on improving its core academic areas to better support its students.

The data indicates that Lurgan Elementary School is a lower-performing school within the Chambersburg Area School District and the state of Pennsylvania, with a ranking of 350 out of 610 school districts. This suggests the school faces significant challenges and may require targeted interventions and additional resources to address the needs of its students and improve their educational outcomes.
