Among 1,624 elementary schools in Pennsylvania with comparable records, this school is smaller than the reported median of 416.5 students. Its enrollment is at approximately the 38th percentile for that peer group. Size describes the campus, not instructional quality.
The reported student–teacher ratio is 14.1:1, close to the Pennsylvania median of 12.9:1 for the same school level. This ratio uses total enrollment and teacher FTE; it is not an average classroom headcount and can be affected by special programs or part-time staffing.
