Understanding the 6/10 Rating
SchoolDistrictFinder rates Coudersport Area School District 6 out of 10 — average among Pennsylvania public school districts. Our ratings are based on state assessment results — the share of students scoring proficient or above in reading and math, as reported in Pennsylvania’s PSSA grades 3–8 ELA & Math assessments (2024–25 school year). We average each district’s reading and math proficiency, then rank it against other districts in the same state to produce a 1–10 score. Because Pennsylvania is compared only against itself, the rating reflects how this district performs relative to its in-state peers.
Coudersport Area School District falls near the middle of Pennsylvania on state assessment results, with reading and math proficiency close to the state median. Average-rated districts provide foundational public education, and many families find they deliver solid day-to-day learning — particularly when parents stay engaged.
