The School Grade

How Spring House compares

A+ Test scoresA− Graduation
Pennsylvania school districts we grade (683)Better than 96%

Pennsylvania towns with similar household incomes (104)Better than 61%
High confidence. Built on 2,370 tested students and a graduating class of 362; ordinary year-to-year swings are unlikely to change it.
How the School Grade works
  • Results, not inputs. Math and reading proficiency on Pennsylvania’s state tests against the state average, plus the four-year graduation rate. Spending and class size are shown but don’t count. Tests: 2020–21; graduation: class of 2020.
  • The whole path. A town’s grade follows its kids through every district that serves it, weighted by students tested. Tests count 60%, graduation 40%.
  • Graded within the state. Each state writes its own tests, so districts are compared with the rest of Pennsylvania only. A+ is the top 5%, A the next 10%, A− the next 10%, the B range the next 30%, the C range the next 30%, D the rest.
  • What a grade can’t tell you. Test results track family income, so we also compare towns with similar incomes. Visit, ask other parents, and read neighbor reviews. It’s our own summary of U.S. Department of Education data, not an official rating.
