Rupert is a small school which allows for more attention given to the students. Challenges the students academically.My grandchild attended K thru 5 there and we were very pleased with all of her teachers (except 1, but she has since retired or went somewhere else). The principal is fantastic! Really does his job well! My only complaints would be that there is no gymnasium, everything takes place in the cafeteria, and the building is old/outdated. Other than that, great school.

My 2 girls attend Rupert - We're proud to be a part of our school's 80 yr (and counting) .. history! It's a BIG FAMILY feeling school! Although it's a small school & may not be rich in $$, equip., ammenities people think you need to be successful - I feel the awesome teachers & staff make us RICH in their commitment, dedication & love of our students & families of the school! Our Principal was a Rupert student - our school is not just a job/school to him - it's HIS SCHOOL, his community & I feel he takes a great deal of pride in making sure he's as actively involved in the day to day activities & goings on of the school, parents, faculty & more importantly the students of Rupert Elementary as possible. I'm personally proud to be a Rupert Parent!

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. The PSSA is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Pennsylvania. The goal is for all students to score at or above proficient on the test.
