Summary:
The city of Allison Park, Pennsylvania, is home to a strong educational system with 7 schools serving students from elementary through high school. The data reveals several standout schools, including Hampton High School, which ranks 12th out of 686 high schools in Pennsylvania, and the top-performing elementary schools of Wyland Elementary and Hosack Elementary, which rank 6th and 2nd out of 1,526 elementary schools in the state, respectively.
The Hampton Township School District, which includes several of the top-performing schools, is ranked 2nd out of 610 school districts in Pennsylvania and is rated 5 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger. This indicates the district as a whole is delivering excellent educational outcomes. The student-teacher ratios across the schools are relatively low, ranging from 11.5 to 14.6, which may contribute to the strong academic performance observed.
While the free/reduced lunch rates vary across the schools, with the highest at 25.5% and the lowest at 10.34%, the top-performing schools consistently outperform the state and district averages on standardized tests, often by a significant margin. This suggests these schools are providing a high-quality education regardless of the socioeconomic backgrounds of their student populations. The spending per student also varies widely, from $17,633 at Burchfield Primary to just $50 at Wyland Elementary, raising questions about the relationship between funding and educational outcomes.
