Best Public Schools in East Smithfield, PA

Summary:

The city of East Smithfield, Pennsylvania has only one school, SRU Elementary School, which serves students from kindergarten through 5th grade. The school is part of the Athens Area School District.

SRU Elementary School has a predominantly white student population, with 93.5% of students identifying as white. The school's academic performance is a mixed bag - while it outperforms the district and state in 4th grade science proficiency, its math and English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency rates are below district and state averages across all grade levels. Notably, the school has a 100% free and reduced lunch rate, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among its student population.

Despite the school's academic challenges, it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.8, which is lower than the state average. However, the school's high spending per student of $20,425 raises questions about the effectiveness of its resource allocation and utilization. Overall, SRU Elementary School faces significant hurdles in providing a well-rounded educational experience for its students, but its strengths in science and low student-teacher ratio suggest potential areas for improvement.
