Summary:
The city of Finleyville, Pennsylvania has just one school, Ringgold Elementary School North, which serves grades K-4 and is part of the Ringgold School District. Despite the district being ranked 408 out of 610 in Pennsylvania and having a 2-star rating, Ringgold Elementary School North appears to be a relatively strong performer, with higher test scores than the district and state averages, particularly in science and English language arts.
The school has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (100%), indicating a relatively high-need student population. However, Ringgold Elementary School North spends $15,611 per student, which is higher than the state average, and has a favorable student-teacher ratio of 12.1 to 1. These factors may contribute to the school's academic success, as it ranks in the top 37% of Pennsylvania elementary schools.
While the school's math proficiency rates are still below 65% for both 3rd and 4th grades, its science and English language arts scores are significantly higher than the district and state averages. This suggests that Ringgold Elementary School North is employing effective teaching strategies and interventions to support student learning, despite serving a high-need student population.
