Summary:
The 18656 zip code area is home to a single elementary school, Ross Elementary School, which serves grades K-6 and is part of the Lake-Lehman School District. The school's academic performance shows a mixed picture, with some strong results in 3rd-grade math and English language arts, but struggles in 5th-grade English language arts compared to district and state averages.
Ross Elementary School has a relatively high free and reduced-price lunch rate of 46.47%, indicating a significant proportion of economically disadvantaged students. However, the school's per-student spending of $19,214 is significantly higher than the state average, and the small student-teacher ratio of 9.9 to 1 suggests a focus on individualized attention and support. The school's overall performance, as reflected in its 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicates room for improvement compared to other schools in the state, but the data shows some bright spots, such as the strong 3rd-grade performance.
While Ross Elementary School faces challenges in certain grade levels and subject areas, the school's high per-student spending and small class sizes suggest a commitment to providing a quality education. The district and school leadership may benefit from further analysis and targeted interventions to address the areas of underperformance and improve overall student outcomes.
