Awesome school - caring teachers and administrators. Safe. Friendly and respectful students and parents. Education is great and the kids don't feel pressured as they learn. If there are an deficits in learning they catch it and provide necessary remediation. SO glad my child attends this school! The building is currently being remodeled and scheduled to be completed 8/11. AC is in place!

Our son is in Kdg right now and his teacher is the best. She has provided a safe nurturing environment in which he has learned that school is a wonderful place to be. He is exceding our expectations academically. The office staff has been receptive to our needs. A bus issue was dealt with immediately. His speech needs were dealt with in a very timely manner and he recieves excellent services. I myself have spent time volunteering in the classroom and it is a wonderful environment for children. We are moving soon and the one thing that we regret in our move is that we will have to leave Churchville Elementary School. We only hope that the school our child will be attending is a close second. Churchville can't possibly be beat.

This is a phenomenal little school. Our girls went here in kindergarten and first grade. We simply could not have asked for better teachers. We recently moved to Texas and we are shocked by how much they teach to the test instead of engaging in a creative learning process. We really miss Churchville.

The quality of education is not excellent, but a lot better than other schools. The other elementary schools in the same district seem to provide better quality education.

It's a great school! I love all the friends and I have fun with my teachers and classmates!

It's really not a great school. They use their money to buy foolish things like electric keyboards ($16,000) and not buy air conditioning for the whole school. When students ask questions like 'why isn't there air conditioning here?' the teachers always reply 'we have a tight budget.' This school doesn't have any clue what there doing.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 Pennsylvania used the Pennsylvania System of State Assessments (PSSA) to test students in grades 3 through 8 and 11 in math and reading, in grades 5, 8 and 11 in writing, and in grades 4, 8 and 11 in science. The results for reading, writing, science and math are displayed on GreatSchools profiles.
