Summary:
The city of Conneautville, Pennsylvania is home to two schools - Conneaut Valley Elementary School and Conneaut Valley Middle School, both part of the Conneaut School District. These schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade and demonstrate strong academic performance, despite the high levels of economic need in the community.
Conneaut Valley Elementary School consistently ranks in the top third of Pennsylvania elementary schools, with a 3-4 star rating from SchoolDigger. The school outperforms state and district averages in PSSA test scores for Math, Science, and English Language Arts across grades 3 and 4, with a particularly high percentage of students proficient or better in PSSA Science (88.2%) for grade 4. Conneaut Valley Middle School is also a standout, ranking in the top half of Pennsylvania middle schools with a 3-4 star rating. The middle school outperforms state and district averages in PSSA test scores for Math and English Language Arts across grades 5-8, and maintains a 0% dropout rate.
Despite the strong academic performance, both schools face significant economic challenges, with 100% of their students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. The racial demographics of the schools are also quite homogeneous, with over 90% of students being white. While the higher spending per student at the middle school level may be an effort to address these challenges, the lack of diversity and representation within the student population is an area that may warrant further investigation and potential interventions.
