The 17244 zip code has only one school, Lurgan Elementary School, which serves grades K-5 and is part of the Chambersburg Area School District. While Lurgan Elementary has consistently received a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, its academic performance in Math and English Language Arts has been below the district and state averages over the past two school years. However, the school has excelled in PSSA Science, with significantly higher proficiency rates than the district and state.

Despite this, the school has a relatively high spending per student of $19,549 and a small student-teacher ratio of 13.3 to 1. These factors suggest that the school may be providing additional resources and support to address the unique challenges faced by its student population.
