Summary:

The 17547 zip code is home to a single elementary school, Donegal Intermediate School, which serves grades 3-6 and is part of the Donegal School District. While Donegal Intermediate School's overall performance is solid, with proficiency rates above the state average in most subject areas, it lags behind the district average in 5th and 6th grade Math and English Language Arts (ELA).

The school's high free and reduced-price lunch rate of 50.19% suggests a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, which may present unique challenges. However, the school's per-student spending of $10,852 is higher than the state average, indicating a commitment to providing quality education and resources. Additionally, the relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14.4 may contribute to the school's academic performance.

Compared to other schools in the Donegal School District and the state of Pennsylvania, Donegal Intermediate School's performance on PSSA tests is mixed, with strengths in Science proficiency but opportunities for improvement in 5th and 6th grade Math and ELA. Overall, the school appears to be a solid performer, but further analysis and comparison to similar schools could provide valuable insights to help address its areas of weakness and continue to support the success of its students.
