Summary:

The 17356 zip code area is home to 4 elementary schools that are part of the Red Lion Area School District, which is ranked 339 out of 606 school districts in Pennsylvania and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The data reveals that while the schools generally perform better in Math than English Language Arts, a few standout institutions, such as N Hopewell-Winterstown Elementary School and Pleasant View Elementary School, consistently outperform the others in the area.

N Hopewell-Winterstown Elementary School stands out with its high ranking, strong test scores, and favorable student-teacher ratio. The school boasts 50.4% proficiency in Math and 50.3% in English Language Arts across all grades, with particularly impressive performance in 4th and 6th grade PSSA tests. Additionally, the school's science proficiency rate of 93.8% is significantly higher than the district and state averages. In contrast, Mazie Gable Elementary School has a higher free/reduced lunch rate of 75.71%, which may contribute to its lower overall academic performance.

The data also reveals significant variations in test scores across grade levels within the same school, suggesting the need for a more targeted approach to addressing academic challenges. Furthermore, the differences in spending per student, ranging from $14,530 at Larry J. Macaluso Elementary School to $17,607 at N Hopewell-Winterstown Elementary School, indicate that resource allocation may play a role in the schools' academic outcomes. By understanding these insights, school leaders and policymakers can develop strategies to support student learning and improve educational opportunities for all children in the 17356 zip code area.
