Summary:
The city of Fairchance, Pennsylvania is home to a single elementary school, A L Wilson Elementary School, which serves students from kindergarten through 5th grade. The school is part of the Albert Gallatin Area School District.
A L Wilson Elementary School has a predominantly white student population, with 93.31% of students identifying as white. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by PSSA proficiency rates in math and English language arts, is consistently below the district and state averages across grades 3, 4, and 5. This suggests that the school may be struggling to provide effective instruction and support for its students. Additionally, the school serves a population with significant economic disadvantages, as 100% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.
Despite the school's lower academic performance, it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.3 and higher per-student spending of $15,040 compared to the state average. This suggests that the district may be allocating resources to the school, but the impact on student achievement is not yet evident. Further investigation into the factors contributing to the school's academic challenges, such as instructional practices, teacher quality, and the impact of socioeconomic factors on student learning, may be necessary to help improve the school's performance and ensure that all students have access to a high-quality education.
