Summary:
The Ellwood City, Pennsylvania area is home to 7 schools across two school districts - the Ellwood City Area School District and the Riverside Beaver County School District. The schools include 3 elementary, 2 middle, and 2 high schools, serving students from pre-K through 12th grade.
Among the standout schools in the area are Riverside Elementary School, which consistently ranks in the top 30% of Pennsylvania elementary schools with strong test scores, and Riverside Middle School, which is in the top 15% of Pennsylvania middle schools. Riverside High School also performs well, ranking in the top 40% of Pennsylvania high schools. In contrast, Lincoln Junior/Senior High School has seen a significant decline in its statewide ranking, from 181st in 2021-2022 to 534th in 2023-2024.
The data suggests a potential correlation between higher free/reduced lunch rates and lower academic performance, with schools like North Side Primary School and Hartman Intermediate School having the highest poverty levels and weakest test scores. However, higher spending per student does not necessarily translate to better academic outcomes, as seen with Lincoln Junior/Senior High School.
