Summary:
The 19608 zip code area in Pennsylvania is home to three elementary schools - Shiloh Hills Elementary School, Cornwall Terrace Elementary School, and Green Valley Elementary School - all of which are part of the Wilson School District. The district is ranked 191 out of 606 school districts in Pennsylvania and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Among the three schools, Shiloh Hills Elementary stands out as the top performer, with the highest PSSA proficiency rates in both Math (57.2%) and English Language Arts (61.1%) across all grade levels, consistently outperforming the district and state averages. Shiloh Hills also has the highest statewide school ranking, placing in the top 30% of Pennsylvania elementary schools. In contrast, Cornwall Terrace Elementary has the lowest proficiency rates in both Math (43.9%) and ELA (50.9%), while Green Valley Elementary has mixed performance, with strong 3rd grade scores but lower proficiency in the upper elementary grades.
The three schools have similar per-student spending, ranging from $16,089 to $16,653, and relatively low student-teacher ratios, suggesting that factors beyond just funding and staffing levels may be contributing to the differences in academic performance. The Wilson School District as a whole is performing slightly above the state average, but there is room for improvement, especially at the lower-performing schools in the district. Analyzing best practices from the higher-performing schools and implementing them across the district could help raise overall student achievement.
