Best Public Schools in East Smithfield, PA

Summary:

The city of East Smithfield, Pennsylvania has only one school, SRU Elementary School, which serves students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Athens Area School District, which is ranked 409 out of 610 school districts in Pennsylvania and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

SRU Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom third of Pennsylvania elementary schools over the past three years, indicating a need for improvement in overall academic performance. However, the school's science proficiency rates are significantly higher than the district and state averages, suggesting a potential area of strength. The school serves a predominantly low-income population, with 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, which may present unique challenges and require targeted interventions.

Despite the school's low performance rankings, it has access to significant resources, with a relatively high per-student spending of $20,425 and a low student-teacher ratio of 12.8. This suggests an opportunity to explore how these resources are being utilized to support student learning and achievement, and to identify strategies for improving the school's overall academic outcomes.
