Elementary Schools in Marion Center Area School District

Summary:

The Marion Center Area School District in Pennsylvania is home to two elementary schools: W.A. McCreery Elementary School and Rayne Elementary School. Both schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade and demonstrate reasonably strong academic performance within the district and state.

W.A. McCreery Elementary School stands out with consistently higher proficiency rates in PSSA Math, Science, and English Language Arts across multiple grade levels, ranking in the top half of Pennsylvania elementary schools over the past 3 years. The school also benefits from a lower student-teacher ratio of 9.9 compared to 11.9 at Rayne Elementary School. On the other hand, Rayne Elementary School excels in 6th grade PSSA Math and English Language Arts, outperforming the district and state averages.

While both schools demonstrate strengths, the data suggests that the higher free/reduced lunch rate at Rayne Elementary School (61.46%) compared to W.A. McCreery Elementary School (55.72%) may be a contributing factor to the slightly lower overall academic performance at Rayne. Additionally, the smaller class sizes at W.A. McCreery Elementary School may also play a role in its stronger academic results.
