Summary:
The city of Barto, Pennsylvania has only one school, Washington Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade and is part of the Boyertown Area School District. While the school has a diverse student population, its academic performance is generally below the district and state averages, particularly in core subjects like math and English language arts.
Washington Elementary School's test scores show a mixed performance, with 4th grade math proficiency exceeding the district and state averages, but 3rd and 5th grade math proficiency falling short. The school also struggles with English language arts proficiency, with scores below the district and state in all grade levels. However, the school performs better than the state average in 4th grade science proficiency. The school's high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-cost lunch, indicating a relatively disadvantaged population, may contribute to its academic challenges.
Compared to the Boyertown Area School District, Washington Elementary School's performance is generally below the district averages, and the school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Pennsylvania elementary schools over the past three years. This suggests the school may need to focus on aligning its curriculum and teaching practices with the district's standards to improve student outcomes and better serve the needs of its diverse student population.
