General McLane School District

General McLane School District is a school district located in Erie County, Pennsylvania, U.S.A. It comprises the townships of Franklin, McKean, and Washington; the boroughs of McKean and Edinboro, are located in McKean and Washington townships, respectively.

The district operates four schools: General McLane High School (9-12), James W. Parker Middle School (5-8), and Edinboro and McKean Elementary schools (K-4).

In 2007 the Pennsylvania Legislature commissioned a Costing Out Study to identify the cost of public education. General McLane School District was recognized as achieving high percentages of students scoring either advanced or proficient on PSSA math and reading tests; and having relatively low per-pupil expenditures.[1] General McLane School District was one of only 87 schools districts that were identified as high performing in student achievement of the Pennsylvania Academic Standards. Efficiency was gauged by administrative spending, number of teachers per pupil and maintenance/operation spending per pupil.[1]
