The school also boasts a strong science performance, with 79.7% of students proficient or better. Upper Moreland Elementary, on the other hand, is a relatively large school with 1,633 students, but it also maintains consistently strong performance on PSSA tests, often outperforming the district and state averages. Both schools have high science proficiency rates, with Upper Moreland Elementary reaching 83.5% in 2023-2024.
In contrast, Crooked Billet Elementary, while still performing above the state average in many areas, lags behind the other two schools in terms of overall academic performance.
