Best Public Schools in Blossburg, PA

Summary:

The city of Blossburg, Pennsylvania is home to a single elementary school, Blossburg Elementary School, which serves grades K-6 and has a total enrollment of 234 students. The school is part of the Southern Tioga School District.

Blossburg Elementary School has a predominantly white student population, with 94.02% of students identifying as white. However, the school's test scores on the PSSA exams are consistently lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2022-2023 school year, the school's proficiency rates in Math ranged from 19.5% to 39.5%, compared to the state averages of 36.4% to 51.7%. Similarly, the school's English Language Arts proficiency rates ranged from 21.9% to 51.3%, compared to the state averages of 51.8% to 55.6%. This suggests that the school may be struggling to effectively prepare its students for these assessments.

Additionally, Blossburg Elementary School has a high percentage of students (60.26%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. The school's spending per student for the 2021-2022 school year was $17,602, which is higher than the state average. However, the school has the highest student-teacher ratio of 12.3 among the 3 elementary schools in the Southern Tioga School District, which may indicate a need for additional teaching resources or a review of the school's staffing model.
